Kyiv Theological Seminary
Today I am leaving to go teach in Ukraine, a country that I have truly grown to love. This will be my second time to teach at KTS. The last time, it was extremely cold; this week it is going to be much warmer; it may even reach 40!
I will have about 12 students in class, and our subject is evangelism. I enjoy this subject because of the amount of topics one can cover, and of course, it's extremely important.
Philip Slusher, our missions pastor, is teaching as I write. Pray for him. He has the first two days of teaching on his own. I will join him for our Wednesday class. The classes go from Monday-Sat; and Mon-Thurs. Philip will be there through Thursday, after which, he will go to London to talk about how we can help a church plant in that area. I will then be there until the following Thursday teaching by myself. We teach for 4 hours per day. The students take two 4 hour classes every day in this program.
In addition, I will be spending some time with our dear friends Joel and Mary Ellen, who help train the pastors. It is always a joy to drink cofee and catch up and listen to Joel tell me about these young guys who are planting churches all over the country. His joy is contagious.
So thanks for your prayers. I just bought some heavy duty earplugs yesterday, knowing that I am rooming with Slusher. I hope they work.
Below is our tentative course outline in case you are interested. This series may come to a church near you, in the near future.... "Evangelism for the Average Dude?"
