International Bible Institute of Ukraine (IBIU)

There is a exciting new project developing in Ukraine called “Return to Antioch Project.” Antioch was the city to which the first missionaries were sent, but is now located in the part of the world that needs missionaries the most. The goal of this project is to send missionaries to the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia, and therefore return to Antioch bearing the good news of Jesus Christ. The International Bible Institute of Ukraine (IBIU) was specifically designed to train Ukrainian missionaries for this project and is overseen by the Ukrainian Union of Evangelical Christian-Baptists. Two training programs are available within IBIU and are open to American and Ukrainian students and both take place during the summer.

1) “UBEX” (Ukraine Bible Extension) is a one- semester program in partnership with Master’s College in CA, where American students are invited to come to Ukraine for 12-15 weeks to gain valuable missionary experience and training. The students will receive 12-18 credits for this course.

2) IBIU “Bachelor of International Ministry” is open to both Ukrainian and American students and balances on –field missionary training with classroom setting training. It is 4-year, 136 credit bachelor degree program that is 25% of the cost of American college programs and is committed to fully equipping missionaries to return to Antioch and beyond.
