We are excited to share another portion of great news from Ukraine from UBTS. Our seminary continues to see God at work. We strongly believe that our mission is to develop and train leaders for local churches. In order to do so, we need to develop leadership practices among ourselves. In the month of April, our staff had leadership training where we discussed our organizational leadership practices and completed our work on Organizational Leadership Manual (OLM).

OLM will serve as a reference point to our school and will be a starting point for our churches to redesign their leadership practices. We will publish this resource in September of 2018. In regard to our own development, we are currently implementing action plans into our day-to-day operations.

We all clearly understand that our student will be much more successful if we show a model of what we would like to see in local churches. Therefore, we are convinced that God will continue to provide us with various opportunities, but it is our responsibility to grow together with the complexity of our challenge and with the expansion of our vision.

We just had a team from Winston-Salem that is actively involved in our women’s training and had a wonderful conference for ladies. They taught about leadership among women and how to effectively serve the local community through the church. At the end of their stay, they all have visited our new location to witness all of the changes that took place in the last few months. They will go back to their churches as ambassadors for UBTS.

As a closing note, I would like to address each of you who read this newsletter; we need you as our partner and to serve as an ambassador wherever you are because we can not succeed without your help with the challenges.

Thank you for being part of UBTS family,
Dr. Yaroslav Pyzh
