Report BVB Institute Ukraine– July–August 2025
At the BV Bible Institute Ukraine, we are currently on summer break, and classes will begin again on September 1st. The new academic year will continue in an online format due to the ongoing full-scale war in Ukraine. This year, we are thankful to God that six students will be studying with us: four brothers and two sisters.
We already have a schedule prepared for the first semester, and most of the teachers will be serving from Ukraine. All of our sessions continue to be recorded and are available on our YouTube channel.
We thank the Lord for His work in Ukraine. The churches of God remain active, and our students and graduates continue to lead people to salvation. While this is all the work of God, we rejoice to see how effectively He is using our graduates in ministry.
We especially want to highlight the ministry in Uzhhorod, where brother Oleh Fofanov is serving faithfully. In Poltava, brother Vadym baptized a significant number of people this summer. In Chernivtsi, brothers Oleksandr and Dmytro are working together in fruitful ministry. Praise God for these encouraging results! We see clear evidence of the impact of the Institute’s work through the lives of our graduates.
At the same time, there is still no ceasefire in Ukraine, and the war continues. We kindly ask you to join us in prayer for peace in our country.
As for my family, we remain in Germany in a safe place, and we are thankful to God for His protection. Together with other brothers, we continue serving online and supporting the work of the Institute.
Thank you very much for your prayers, support, and care for the church in Ukraine. May the Lord richly bless you.
With respect and gratitude,
Denys Sopelnyk
Director, Bear Valley Bible Institute Ukraine
