Mornings with Seth and Deb Moody Radio

Optimism for gospel impact burgeoned in1991 when the Russian government invited the Christian Bridge mission to explore bringing Christian faith and morality to Russia. Author Philip Yancey was in that delegation that traveled to Russia with Mission Eurasia founders Peter and Anita Deyneka to respond to this remarkable open-door window. Fast forward to 2024 and we wonder, “What went wrong?” Philip Yancey and John Bernbaum, who founded and led the Russian-American Christian University, examine the brief span from 1991 to 2000 when Westerners and Christians were welcome in Russia and explore what went wrong in their new book. Philip Yancey explores this question offering historical and spiritual perspectives to what is happening in Russia and Ukraine and how we can support our suffering brothers and sisters in Christ.
