ENDORSEMENTS OF SCHOOL WITHOUT WALLS FROM CHRISTIAN NATIONALS
“Youth today are known for their passivity. But after attending training conferences and seminars, they are different. An entirely new missionary team can be formed around ‘School Without Walls.’
Victor Sipko, Evangelical Christians-Baptists bishop (St. Petersburg)
"The mission of ‘School Without Walls’ is to train Christian leaders so that they will be able to work successfully in various areas of evangelical ministry and use their creative gifts in contemporary circumstances. The academic plan presents students with an almost unlimited ability to receive a contemporary Christian education which will enable them to minister more effectively through the church. Distance education is the next step in the development of the ‘School Without Walls’ program for future leaders."
Igor Malin, pastor and coordinator of the “Distance Education” project for “School Without Walls”
“We welcome the ‘Association for Spiritual Renewal’ into the Euro-Asian Accrediting Association with its new educational project ‘School Without Walls’ and look forward to our partnership together. We hope that EAAA and ASR will become leaders in Christian distance education. Our joint seminar in October on distance education should kindle an interest among other evangelical schools with these ideas.”
S. V. Sannikov, executive director of Euro-Asian Accrediting Association
“Social work, youth ministry and ‘School Without Walls” have all become a single entity for us. Only in this combination can a new generation of Christian leaders emerge—one that is dedicated, effective, compassionate, prepared, and competent.”
Roman Kurbatsky, youth leader of the Rovensky regional Association of Evangelical Christians-Baptists
“We are often asked: ‘Why do we need a new generation of leaders, and what do we do with the older generation? This is a revolution!’ We respond by saying: ‘A new generation does not destroy the older generation, but it strengthens the effectiveness of the church with new efforts and talents.”
Vladimir Savich, pastor and former rector of the Lutsk Bible College
“Moscow Theological Seminary is offering courses in the area of training for the new academic year. The ‘School Without Walls’ (Association for Spiritual Renewal) program fits well into our educational program and will serve as a major component for the training of a new generation of Christian leaders and church workers. It is important to note that the ‘School Without Walls’ program will become an integral part of church ministry training. In the near future local evangelical Christian-Baptist churches in the Moscow region (i.e. Saltikovka and Orekhovo-Zuevo) and in the city of Moscow (Gospel Church and Love of Christ Church) will recruit new students.”
Alexander Fedichkin,pastor, instructor at Moscow Theological Seminary
