Ukraine Bible Institute Report
Teachers
Lesson Summary
The class began with an introduction of Brandon and Katie Price, long‑time missionaries who have spent 17 years serving Ukraine and now operate the Ukrainian Bible Institute (UBI) from Slovakia. Brandon reported that, despite the escalating war and increasing aerial attacks, the institute had flourished, transitioning from a residential school to a fully online training program that reaches thousands throughout Ukraine. He explained that UBI’s guiding verse, Matthew 5:16, drives their mission to empower disciples to shine their light in dark times, and described practical changes such as an 18‑month curriculum, recorded sessions, and a six‑month internship option. Brandon also shared encouraging enrollment numbers, noting growth from six students pre‑war to over twenty applicants for the current cycle, and celebrated the recent graduation of thirteen students. He emphasized the importance of spiritual formation alongside academic knowledge, and called the congregation to continued prayer and support for the Ukrainian people and the missionary family. The class concluded with gratitude for Linder Road Church’s 15‑year partnership and a reminder of the ongoing need for compassion and generosity.
