Testimonies:
Nadezhda Yefremova, Ivano-Frankivsk: “Studies in the college helped me in ministry, in relationships with God. He is being presented as He is from Gospel point of view here. The knowledge I received don’t let me fall down and I know that there is always exit from any problem, hardship in personal life, or ministry…”
Yan Cherepovskij, Merefa: “I am very happy to be able to study in Rivne Bible College. Every time that I come to the academic session, I learn more and more about God. The study time is a time, when God is talking to my heart in a special way. He strengthens me and gives new courage and knowledge, so I can continue ministering among Roma people, representative of whom I am. When I come to the session, I can see how God chooses His children from every nation and makes us one family through blood of Jesus Christ. Through this, I can communicate with many people, whom I did not know before. This communication brings many spiritual blessings, helps to see myself, my ministry, and position in Christ in a new way”
Natalia Ostash, Zdolbuniv: I am an accountant by profession, but I am involved in prayer ministry in my church. During n opportunity to serve to women, show them their position in their family. The knowledge, which God gave me, is with me for the rest of my life. God is changing me through this study. I can share with others what He reveals me. God is teaching me to stay in His Word…”
Daria Derkach, Kiev: Education in Rivne Bible College changed my outlook on practical Christianity, it turned my way of thinking from human-centrism to God-centrism. Especially helpful was a course of counseling, where we were shown how to examine your own heart and find sin in it and how to deal with it. Now it is very helpful in my everyday Christian life. College Teachers are spiritually mature Christians, who can be contacted for advice and help in any difficult situation. They were very attentive to each student, paying attention not only on the academic performance, but on a spiritual state. For me personally, it was an unforgettable experience of living in a student dormitory, where you had to humble yourself, to tolerate and learn to serve each other. At first it was hard, but the Lord worked with my heart in this matter. In college, I met wonderful brothers and sisters, and I hope that in the future it will serve a good bridge for the continuation of inter-church dialogue. Thank God for the time spent in college!
