Serving God Under Siege with Valentyn Syniy
Episode notes
In this episode, we talk with Dr. Valentyn Syniy, president of Traviski Christian Institute.
When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, TCI found itself directly in the army's path. The invaders seized the seminary, even turning its library into a waste dump. Thankfully, by then, Valentyn had already managed to led his students and faculty to safety. While still refugees themselves, they turned to help others. They risked their lives to evacuate the elderly, deliver medicines to the wounded, and provide food and shelter to those in need.
Valentyn reflects about his family's story of faith and we talk about his upcoming book, Serving God Under Siege, which collects many of these experiences.
