DBI in the Churches

"How many books in the New Testament?"

- Silence -

"No one knows?"

Suddenly a voice from the silence, "27."

"Well, at least the Pastor knows... [chuckle chuckle]"

Although this is not life changing information it is part of the biblical information so many of us have picked up along the way through Sunday School, Bible clubs, etc. This is totally missing for this first generation of new Believers in Ukraine.

The truth of the matter is that with the majority of believers either new or quite young in their faith in our churches, the level of Biblical knowledge is very low. DBI has an awesome opportunity to help change that. Every Wednesday I have the opportunity to teach Colossians at Word of Life Church here in Dnepro. It is incredibly exciting to see these 8-10 believers coming every week to add to what the Lord is teaching them. We see this as an important opportunity to build into the Lords church here. There are a great many people that can't come to Bible School full time. This lends an opportunity to those people to also have some Biblical study classes.

We hope and pray that this ministry will continue to grow and spread to other churches in and around Ukraine. We look forward to being involved in such discipleship style courses more often in the future. Pray with us for the spiritual growth and maturation process among our young churches.
