Joy Watson, CEO, International Christian School in Russia: The Courage to Make Christ-Centered, Bible-Based Education Happen in Russia

September 08, 2025 • Frameworks, a Biblical worldview initiative from Northwest Christian School

Christian education in Russia. Yes, you read that correctly. And, not only is it happening, it's been happening for thirty years.

Three decades of Christian education within a nation with a track record of hostility towards the Gospel is not for the faint of heart. For the brave men and women involved, it has required courage and a constant commitment to excellence.

And, Joy Watson has led that team. Today, we enjoy a remarkable Kingdom Culture Conversation with Joy has she articulates the courage of her team, the risks that they face, and how a commitment to excellence undergirds the ability to provide a transformational education in a very surprising locale.

"Kingdom Culture Conversations" is a podcast created through Frameworks, a Biblical worldview initiative of Northwest Christian School.
