The Missionary Position: Misadventures in Russia

Tad Browne spent his first 20 years in Tacoma, Washington, and his next 30 intensely engaged in independent Christian and humanitarian work throughout Central and South America (not quite avoiding the occasional revolution), Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and finally Russia. Independent here means he had to pay his own way and often scramble and scrounge to keep the work afloat. These skills proved particularly useful to survive in post-Soviet Russia. He returned to the US in 1999, enjoys languages, exploring exotic places, rowing, fencing epee (you never know when someone may need to be skewered), guitar, books, friends, children and grandchildren.
