In 1989 the first Bible college was founded to train men and women for Christian service. This program, now has more than 2500 graduates.

Churches

Ray teaches classes in Church Growth, Church Planting, Evangelism & Discipleship to equip students to work in new churches in the area.

Developing Materials and opening new doors:

Many Christians who want to receive religious training are unable to study in the Bible college. Part of my time continues to be devoted to developing educational materials that can be used outside of the classroom.

Training and sending Ukrainian Missionaries – During the Soviet period, often the idea of sending cross-cultural missionaries was not possible for churches of Russia and Ukraine. During recent years the need to train, and then have Ukrainian churches, send out their own people as missionaries has taken on new urgency. For over twenty-five years our task has been to train Ukrainians to reach their own people with the gospel, but now much of our time is devoted to preparing Ukrainians to serve as foreign missionaries.
