Role
Ministry in Russian (MIR) Bible College teaching
Work summary
Travelling several times a year to the 'former Soviet Union' to teach in Bible Colleges - courses on the Bible, Christian Doctrine, Church History, Greek and Hebrew. Also preaching in local churches. Each trip lasts on average about two weeks.
Background
I became a Christian in 1967, while studying Russian at Cambridge. I have always had an interest in Russian literature, history and language. Over the past 15 years there have been many opportunities to visit the 'former USSR' for teaching and preaching ministry. The work was supported mainly by our own church, Mountpottinger Baptist, but in February 2005 I came under the wing of Baptist Missions.
