Together we recount the history and legacy of LAMB's Big Blue Bus as well as the importance of missions. This episode is dedicated to Diana Collins and Howard Clarke:

"Diana Collins was a longtime friend of mine and then LAMB. She taught the children how to knit and crochet, make soap, and raise chickens. Diana was a deacon of the church, a true servant of Jesus and His people. She died unexpectedly in 2023 of complications following surgery. She never tired of telling stories of the journey to Honduras from Vermont aboard the big blue bus! Howard Clarke, a friend of Diana, actually purchased the bus. For several years,  he held an annual barbecue at his house to raise funds for our children. His wife, Helen, needed his full attention when she was struck with Alzheimers, but Howard remained a heartfelt supporter of LAMB. Both Diana and Howard left footprints of love and sacrificial giving." - Suzy McCall
