Brief Summary:
Through lectures, learning exercises, and discussion, both Phil & Stephen taught pastors, seminary students, and church congregations. With the pastors, they tested them and shared certification requirements. Before they teach the seminar in November, they will be required to meet certain certification standards. For the seminary audience, they were able to meet with the seminary president to discuss including a version of the study in their curriculum. Their future plans include (1) training a team of up to 10 Americans to travel to Belarus in November to co-lead the seminar with the Belarusians they previously trained, (2) presenting seminars in the six regions of the country for pastors and church leaders, and (3) they anticipate around 150 - 250 in attendance.

Results:
Taught 10 pastors, 13 seminary students, and 425 church members

Testimonies:
None specifically, but they have received very good feedback from those in attendance!
