Our September session of seminary has been really great. We’re in a new place, we have a good new group of students, and the relationships have been deep and productive. Thank you for your prayers!

Will Traub taught Systematic Theology I, and our graduate Andrei Dilyuk did a wonderful job teaching 1^st year Greek. Clay taught Discipleship, and Jos Colijn taught Systematic Theology III. We also instituted our new Portfolio System, including closer mentoring and the choice of specialization in a major subject.

The highlight of these two weeks was a shish-kabob cookout and sharing around the campfire, where several guys opened up about struggles and some real progress in their lives. Praise God!

Our Dean of Student Affairs, Scott Andes, is beginning his work toward a superior degree. He has been accepted into the M.Th. program in Scripture and Theology at the University of Wales. He will begin studying with an intensive one-week course this week in Bridge End, Wales. We would appreciate your prayers for him -- and for the rest of the Staff, as we try to fill in the gap. Scott has been doing a great job in relating to the students, facilitating courses, grading papers, and gathering information to help our students and faculty relate to one another better. He will continue in this role, dedicating part of his time to seminary, part to his doctoral studies, and part of the team in Kyiv.
