 Several years ago Mr. T ( Of the A-Team television fame) had a phrase that he used that I would like to use to tell of my weekend in Rivne. He used to say “ I like it when a plan comes together”.
 That’s how I felt about traveling to Rivne on Saturday to visit a pastors’ conference and see some of my 4th year church planting students. The conference was led by some American pastors from Alabama and they taught Blackaby’s book on Experiencing God.
At the end of the conference one of my 4th year students that will be graduating next month gave a testimony of what the KTS Church Planting Program has meant to him and then invited pastors to send their students to us to train and equip church planters for here in Ukraine. What a crowning moment to hear from a young man who is a dynamic leader and has planted a church that is about a year old and is doing very well. For me it was a confirmation that we heard God and joined him in what he is doing here.
 There were several other things that happened that were significant. The senior pastor of the oblast (we would call them states in America) was very happy to have had three of his men in our program so we have a good relationship that will help recruit students in the fall. Finally, one of the Americans that was teaching at the conference, after hearing about our program is wanting to come and teach a modular course at KTS. So…it was a great day here in Ukraine and for the Church Planting Program.
