Today I met with three young men to discuss offering to them the possibility of Christian college education. Jason, an American missionary laboring in Uzhgorod with Roma (Gypsy) people desires to enhance his ministry abilities with some Christian studies. Stephen and Kolya, the other two fellows, I have had as students either in Kiev or here in Uzhgorod. To maintain some possibility to advance these young, Christian men in Christian education we have had to search for flexible options. Our discussion today informed them of a program that we are excited about and will soon be launching into some classes.
Also, on a little different level, we soon hope to be teaching a group of six to ten young people in a village basic Christian themes on Bible or theological topics. The encouraging and exciting thing here is that these young people approached us and asked us if we could offer some classes for them. I did not even expect such a possibility and should be chastised for not having the faith or the creative thinking to have considered such a possibility. So, all this means is that there have suddenly opened to us more opportunities for Christian education ministry than we ever expected. Thank God for these opportunities and we ask you to pray and help us.
And we are thankful that God has sent someone to disciple and educate us.
