New book details author's personal cross-cultural ministry behind the Iron Curtain
WORCESTER, Mass., March 5, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In author Kaarina A. Ham, Ph.D's new contemporary personal narrative textbook, "Witness to History 1979-2019: Assisting God's People in East-Central Europe, Russia, Armenia During the Late Soviet and Early Post-Soviet Years," readers can experience true accounts of Christian churches and individuals under duress during totalitarian regimes of the early-Stalinist and middle-Soviet Khrushchev eras.
In "Witness to History 1979-2019," readers are given a presentation of a specific era in what was the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, or USSR. "I want to get this textbook into the hands of Christian college students and seminarians," Ham said, referring to her book. "I hope this book can help conduct Christian ministry effectively in post-Soviet lands."
Ham has also released "Pictorial Chronology 1979 to 2019," which serves as a visual follow-up to "Witness to History 1979-2019." Ham hopes this historic combined narrative will serve as a meaningful primer for those who may be interested in Christian mission in the former Soviet nations of East-Central Europe, the Baltic and Eurasia.
"I am grateful for the privilege of pursuing this spiritual calling for the journey that begins in Boston and ends in Yerevan," Ham said. Ham's book stems from her cross-cultural mission and 40-year calling from God.

About the author
Kaarina Ann Ham, Ph.D, was raised in Western New York by parents committed to the Great Commission. Adolescent years took her family to New England where the missionary calling progressed. Her undergraduate study at Eastern Nazarene College and graduate study at Fuller Theological Seminary furthered the urge toward cross-cultural mission. 1979 marked the beginning of travels to the Soviet Union, followed by pioneering missionary service in the Soviet Satellite States of East-Central Europe during the 1980s, and a focus on the post-Soviet Russian Federation during the 1990s. In recent years, a deep tug at her heart has brought her to the Republic of Armenia. To learn more, please visit AuthorHouse.
