Church Planting School in Kiev Ukraine

A few weeks ago in Kiev I met with Joel Ragains who is an IMB worker there.

Joel is the church planting director at Kiev Theological Seminary. I will write more on this program later on but I am quite impressed with how they are training national church planters and these men are planting churches that are in turn planting churches.

As I was having a cup of coffee with him before Christmas he picked up this book and started talking about it and how it has influenced church planters in their program. I wanted to capture this on short video. You can take a look at what he says here.

As some of you know I am a long time friend of Ed Stetzer and  I promise he is not prompting me to post this.  However I wanted to show this to you in order to give you an idea of a need that we often hear about on the field; resources in the heart language of the people. In this case it is a church planting book that Ed wrote some years back. Though the book has a North American context Joel believes the principles in the book are cross cultural and can be helpful to church planters in that part of the world.

If you are interested in learning more about how you can partner with Joel send him
