Our Ministry

IIn October 2003, Randy was appointed to serve as the Assistant to the President of Kiev Christian University (KCU). In this position he assisted the president in directing the affairs of the university. Together they worked to develop KCU into an institution that would facilitate the training of students from the countries of the former Soviet Union. A new curriculum was written, the school was reorganized and restructured, and its academic standards were raised. Randy also taught two courses at the university.

Once KCU had a qualified Ukrainian team in place and things running smoothly, Randy was able to focus on his purpose for coming to Ukraine, that of pastoral training. This has been his desire since shortly after salvation in the early 1980's. In 1994, Randy made his first trip to Ukraine with a group of pastors and while on that trip his passion for this ministry was once again revived. Then in 1996, he was able to go to Russia to train men for two weeks who were preparing to be pastors and missionaries. The following two weeks he spent in Ukraine working alongside of a Ukrainian church planter. This too helped him focus on what God was calling him to do in the future.

To fulfill Randy's purpose, he began an organization called, "Dynamic Church of Eurasia." Then he wrote a book entitled, “Building a Dynamic Church,” which has been translated into the Russian language. This manual is a practical ecclesiology with an application section for most of the chapters The goal is to help church leadership reexamine their ministry in light of the Scriptures, asking themselves the question, “Why do we do what we do?” The material can also be used to train church planters and cross-cultural missionaries. His desire is to see it used in the 15 countries of the former Soviet Union. The English version has been downloaded for free in 43 countries from the internet, and it is currently being translated into French for free distribution as well. As the Lord opens opportunities, Randy uses his manual to teach in Ukraine as well as in surrounding countries.

Annette’s ministry consists of providing Christian resources to women for use in their ministries. This includes purchasing many requested resources for home Bible studies, evangelistic outreaches, tracts, Bibles, DVDs and books for lending libraries, as well as magazine subscriptions.

She has also taught English for several years as an outreach in our church. Currently Annette has a teaching ministry to pastors’ wives and other women using lessons based upon the book, “One With a Shepherd,” by Mary Somerville. The lessons focus on marriage, money, forgiveness, hospitality, and discipling women to name just a few. She also offers Christian books for sale during her seminars.
