Kiev is a place that welcomes Americans openly. Many of the main points of interest are located around a fairly small area within the center of Kiev. The Main Square, Kreshchatik Street, St. Michael's Cathedral, St. Sophia's Cathedral, St. Andrew's Church and Andreyevskaya Street are all within easy walking from each other. This society still retains very good and wholesome values that have suffered here in the US. These and many other ancient buildings in Kiev had to be rebuilt. Kiev has been conquered and destroyed many times through the centuries each time it has been rebuilt more beautiful than it was before. Kievo-Pecherska Lavra (on the picture) has been on the UNESCO Register of World Heritage since 1990.

In May 2000 almost 600 pastors from all around Ukraine came to the Power in the Pulpit Preaching Conference sponsored by ITEM. They heard lectures on Biblical teaching, many for the first time in their ministry career. They went away better equipped to address a secular culture with the Truth of Scripture.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rev. Perry Tinklenberg about the students at Donetsk seminary: “I have been appointed to call the students in this mining district to mine the riches of the text of the Scriptures for its riches…"
