Episode description

**WARNING**
This episode contains a harrowing story of domestic abuse, so is not suitable for younger children.

In this fascinating and unusual episode Matt talks to 'David & Abigail', a couple who spent many years in the mountainous post-Soviet Caucausus region. 

Ministry to Muslims in this part of world is quite different to life in the Middle East or South Asia, with an entrenched drinking culture to navigate and regular saunas for the men, as well as the opportunity to go skiing in the holidays. 

Topics discussed include prayer, beaurocracy, public displays of affection, court cases, witchcraft and bible translation.
