"As a seminary, we influence and serve through our students. They are our main agents of change."
May 25, 2022
It is now three months since Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine began. Last week, UBTS welcomed students back for a brief, special "retreat session" where they could reconnect with each other, gain new ministry ideas, and rest. Students were sincerely grateful for the experience, as many have been ministering to refugees 24/7 for months and needed time to stop and be refreshed. In today's videos, you will hear their stories and see their joy of being together at UBTS once again - the place where they learned the values that have carried them through the turmoil of war.
Some 80% of UBTS students have remained in Ukraine.
73% have engaged in humanitarian aid
46% hosted refuges at home
44% organized the housing of refugees in churches
30% were involved in cooking
20% were involved in evacuating people from hotspots.
5% serve in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
These photos illustrate how UBTS – working through its network of students, graduates, and churches – is delivering humanitarian aid to people throughout Ukraine.
