Episode Synopsis
Send us a textIn our previous episode, host Dan Dyck shared the story of the Mennonite trek to Central Asia that took place in the early 1880s. Researching and writing that for story raised many questions. In today's episode, Dan sits down with a Mennonite historian John Sharp. John has spent a lot of time in Central Asia exploring the Mennonite presence there, and he helps dig deeper into the story of the trek and the lingering influence of it on people in the region.Learn more about John's upcoming tour:2025 Silk Road Odyssey: The Trek to Central Asia https://www.tourmagination.com/tours/2025-silk-road-odyssey-the-trek-to-central-asiaYour donations help preserve and share stories like this one!
