Andy Frecka went to Russia in 1999 with Youth With A Mission (YWAM). He spent nine years there where he got married, had four kids and tells the whole story in a very humorous way in his book “Winter Road: Journey of a Russian Mission”.
It’s apparently not a very long book, at only 280 pages, and is a very capturing read. It captures a lot of different adventures during his time in the city of Perm, near the Ural Mountains, including buying a car, boiling snow for food, working with a local group of prisoners, and more.
