Translating the Needs of their Own Family: Andy and Mary Ellen's stories from Russia and Kyrgyzstan - Episode 84

Our guests today are Andy and Mary Ellen Faust, Canadian Americans who have worked with a mission organization focused on Bible translating for over 20 years. Mary Ellen is a recruiter and missions coach, and Andy is an instructor at the Canada Institute of Linguistics. Separately, they spent many years before marriage in former Soviet bloc countries, and then they met in and returned to Central Asia as a young family. 

Listen to Part 1 of Andy and Mary Ellen’s stories, from when the locals celebrated as Andy and Mary Ellen met at an international church in Uzbekistan to when they moved to neighboring Kyrgyzstan to help with a translation project. With toddlers in tow and making two international moves, the needs of the family became greater than just finding alternative flour sources.
