From ERSU President Erik Van Alten:
"I am sitting at our January session in our new building. It is cold outside, but inside we have heating and wonderful facilities But even more satisfying is the teaching to which I am listening. Will Traub (PCA pastor) is teaching an introductory course to the Old Testament. And in opening up the Old Testament to the students from all over Eastern Europe, he is in essence proclaiming Christ to them, preparing them to teach the Scriptures to their people. I am again struck by the importance of preparing these students for the ministry, and by the task God has given us in the Eastern European context.
"We are thankful for all God has given us in the past 20 years - teachers, vision, financial means... But we understand that the next 20 years are just as crucial. Therefore, as we move into the third decade of our existence, we would like to make an appeal to all our supporters. We want to ask you, our faithful supporters, to continue the legacy (see more about this below). Please consider partnering with the Evangelical Reformed Seminary of Ukraine into the future."

Hallelujah! the Seminary has a new home! On October 12th, we purchased the building at Burmistenko 25A in Kiev, where we hope already to hold sessions in fall 2018!

It is located just 5 Metro stops south of the city center, and only a 10-minute walk from there! It is so convenient! We have made a floorplan for bunk rooms, classrooms, dining, kitchen, library, and offices!
God provided the funds for the purchase from the ACTS Fund, the ERSU Seminary Fund at MTW, and the Ukraine Comissie of the Reformed Church of the Netherlands (RCN(l)). We are thankful to all of these for their patient endurance in this 3-year process!
Although we have funds to begin the upgrades and outfitting, we need to sell our current office before we have enough funds for additions to allow its maximum use. We hope this will cut our working budget and provide for seminars and other useful ministries of seminary and church. So please pray our office will sell soon!
But especially give God THANKS that this sale finally came through and that we now have a permanent home for our seminary sessions! Praise Him!
