Titus Project Work

I remember reading as a kid the book ‘Narnia’ and all about the little boy who falls in love with Turkish Delight. Well, now I know why! After eating just one small square you definitely don’t want to stop! I may have over indulged a few too many times. We had a great summer in…

What I liked the most about my Titus was the partnership and service of the local church. In Magnitogorsk in Russia, we were able to work with one church for 3 weeks – teaching kids as well as grandmas, teaching during camps, bible seminars, youth groups, house groups and Sunday service. This church was so active! I was…

Situation 1: A small group of Kazakh Babushkas (Grandmothers) is looking curiously at me and the colorful visuals I put on the wall. All are ready with a pen in their hand. Situation 2: Around 40 Kazakh men hang in their chairs, some are smiling in anticipation, some are just observing those strange foreigners. Apparently it is a group…

Recently we taught in a Discipleship Training School, a 6 month program that equips young believers to know God and then make him known – because he is a beautiful, wonderful God worthy of everyone’s worship. We were teaching about the Bible because it is God’s story and shows his wonderful plan for our redemption!…

Just for some fun: A resident of one of the European countries – an atheist – became lost during a trip to Africa. After a while he came upon a tribe of savages. Suddenly, he sees that the leader reads the Bible. Going up to the leader, the European said to him: – Bible reading?…

It was a wild ride, reading and studying every verse in all 66 books of the Bible. Maybe it seemed challenging at the beginning. And maybe there were days when I just couldn’t do any more. But I walked away with a firm grasp of understanding of the whole Bible! What does the Bible really…

When was the last time that you took down the binder or journal from a conference, retreat or series of messages and read through them. I almost never do. Who actually has time for that? I certainly don’t. Of course, note-taking does help with the initial remembering and even processing of information, but except for…

Here is an update from one of our teams in a post-Soviet country that persecutes Christians and represses those who follow Jesus. Which is why we can’t post a photo of the leaders who they were teaching. Here is their update: Our last week in Kz was once again in another city – within a…

As you know, Titus Project has three teams out teaching and preaching in Romania, Ukraine and the CIS. Here is a short story from our team in Ukraine: “But why did Jesus have to die?” asked the woman on my left with a puzzled frown. The others, suddenly curious, leant forward along the length of…

After training 8 new bible teachers in Germany they all went out to teach. Here is what one of the teachers from Romania wrote: That awkward moment when you walk into church and realize that you are the only one who is not wearing a head covering… oops… what do you do? You smile, walk…

Last week we introduced you to Hurlach, Germany and Castle Fest, the annual open-house and party for the castle here. Well we caught the Titus staff in their Bavarian uniforms, traditional dresses for the ladies and for the men – lederhosen. From R-L: Ben, Saana, Yulia, Ang, Sonya, Joshua. Just thought we’d give you a quick…

Our Titus Training Program will be starting in just 7 weeks. We have 10 participants from all over Europe (like Sweden, Germany, Lithuania, Switzerland) in three teams heading to nations like Romania, Russia and Ukraine! We’re so excited to see these SBS graduates go out and teach the Bible and how to study it. After…

We have travelled and taught and studied multiple new languages with such variety as Mandarin Chinese, Indonesian and Russian. Of course, as teachers it is incredibly important to show humility by also being a learner, of culture and language, so that we don’t think we only have something to offer without also realizing that we…

Taking care of the properties used for serving people is clearly important. Whether its a building used for meetings, a van for transport or a beach for camps, the time spent in cleaning, maintenance and repairs is part and parcel of the opportunity to use them. Here in Kyiv, we have a property with some…

One of our teams headed to central Europe, to Hungary for the first month and then on to Latvia. They had some really cool opportunities, from teaching Revelation to entering a post-soviet prison teaching inmates how to read and study their Bible. Listen to Silvi share about some of her experience: When I looked at…

That is the sigh that came out of my mouth when I thought about the past few months :) We started a new ministry team, got busy teaching in local churches around Kiev, and now we are on a teaching/recruiting tour of the SBS’s in Europe. Two weeks ago Angela went to Sweden to teach…

In Georgia our team had an amazing opportunity to teach at one of the only Kurdish churches in the world! We taught the book of 1 Peter to them, chapter by chapter every Saturday and Sunday Night for a month. One particularly unique moment happened when we were teaching Chapter 3:1-6. These verses emphasize the influence…

The leadership team we are a part of is reading together through this book, Crucial Conversations. It has been the perfect book to read because we are growing and learning together about all sorts of important things regarding have healthy, helpful, safe conversations with people. Our brother Ike recommended it to us and I think…

One of the teams that we sent out stayed for one month in Ukraine and then moved on to the mid-west of Russia. Here is a quote from one of the interns, James from Germany: “From the training time on God began to show me that teaching the bible and even teaching in general is…
