In regions marked by conflict, hardship, and spiritual hunger, God is raising up faithful men and women to proclaim His Word. Across the former Soviet Union—from Moldova to Siberia to war-torn Ukraine—generous friends like you are helping fund SGA-supported seminaries, Bible schools, and church-based Antioch Initiative Bible training that are preparing the next generation of ministry leaders.

These training efforts are critical. Without pastors, evangelists, and Bible teachers, the spread of the Gospel cannot keep pace with the spiritual awakening happening in these areas.

One of the most exciting developments is taking place in Ukraine, where the national Baptist Union has launched a bold plan to train 1,000 men for ministry over the next decade. Their tool of choice? The Antioch Initiative—SGA’s strategic ministry leader training program designed to bring quality biblical instruction directly to the frontlines of Gospel outreach.

A Word of Thanks from Ukraine

SGA-supported Pastor Ruslan, a key leader in this effort, shares his gratitude:

Thank you very much for your support and partial financial assistance for this school. You are the answer to our prayers.

Our vision is to raise up 1,000 leaders to develop the ministry and plant new churches in our country, because that is what will help us impact our country. . . . We ask for your prayer and financial support.

This dynamic initiative not only prepares students for immediate ministry, but also opens doors for further theological education at SGA-supported institutions like Irpen Biblical Seminary.

Will you help equip one more? You can invest in someone who will disciple many. Together, we can fuel the growth of Christ’s Kingdom in Ukraine and across the vast region we serve—one trained student at a time.
