SLAVIC BAPTIST INSTITUTE
|
SBI is dedicated to training nationals to fulfill the Great Commission in the Slavic world. Our graduates receive instruction in a number of theological studies. Students receive practical experience in evangelism, church planting, and Christian camp ministry. We equip students to be indigenous missionaries - going to their own nations and spreading the Gospel to their own people.

Dear Praying Friend,
Our goal is to make a difference in the Slavic speaking world by spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our plan is three-fold. First, to preach the Gospel and evangelize unreached areas in the Slavic speaking world. Second, to perfect the saints through teaching and Bible training. We will be working with a number of independent Bible believing Baptist churches in Ukraine, training pastors, church planters, and Christian workers. Third, to plant New Testament Churches, using graduates of SBI, working through their home churches when possible. Dr. Neil Cadwell founded SBI more than 19 years ago and during this time more than 180 have graduated and are now pastors, deacons, and Christian servants in their local churches. Along with this SBI participated in the planting of 70 churches. SBI’s ultimate goal has been and will be the glory of Christ through the salvation of souls, the training of the saved, and the planting of churches. Our theme is “That the Lamb who was slain, may receive the reward of His suffering.” Will you pray about partnering with us in this most important ministry to the Slavic speaking peoples of the world? These are souls for whom Christ bled and died, yet most have never heard of His saving grace. Your friend and fellow servant, Derek Thomas President of Slavic Baptist Institute |
