TRUE LIFE STORIES

Nakul Vitaly, graduate:

The amount of time I have spent as a student at the seminary is 4 years or 1380 days of my life. I spent about 1000 of those days in morning prayers and enjoyed about 1000000 smiles and, most certainly came to love more than 100 brothers and sisters in Christ. “What did UETS give me?” UETS became apart of me. It was here I heard the good news that is so necessary to be shared with other people.

Vadim Leonov, 4 th year student:

The studies at UETS gave me direction in my life and a vision for ministry. For the last three years I understood that my calling is to preach the Gospel. A stay in UETS taught me to be more open and communicative so that I could come into contact with new people. My education allowed me to see in the Bible what I could not see before: answers for the most important questions in my life. Also I realized that I could serve the Lord with music and singing. However, the most important thing I have learned as a student at UETS is how to become closer to God and have a deeper relationship with Him. I know Him not only as Father but also as Friend, Defender and Wonder-worker!

Igor Brodin, 3 rd year student:

The seminary is an answer from God for my life and a ministry. I arrived from Uzbekistan and the fact that I receive my studies here is a miracle. I think the greatest testimony as to how the Seminary has influenced my life is that other ministers are coming from my church and will study in a non-resident program this year. Before I left home, I heard these words from God: “I will complete a work in you to the end” from a message in Phil 1:6 and I always thank Him for His faithfulness in keeping His promises!

Viktoriya Klimashevskaya, 2 nd year student:

UETS is a great blessing for me. Through my studying, I have gained a lot of new helpful information that helps me in my ministry. And the most important thing is that I grow every day in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Anatoliy Chobey, 1 st year student:

From the first days of studying in seminary, I understood that the people who work and study at UETS indeed love God and wish to serve and worship Him with open hearts. During this educational year I hope to strengthen my relationship with God and to perfect my skills in playing the guitar, the synthesizer and percussion.
