I recently taught a week-long intensive on Galatians at Zaporozhye Bible Seminary in Ukraine. The entire class was conducted in Russian, so I had a translator for all of my lectures (as well as for preaching and doing devotionals). My main translator was a Ukrainian named Volodya Lavrushko who is a Greek instructor at the Seminary. Volodya holds an M.Div. from Tyndale Theological Seminary in the Netherlands, and plans to pursue further theological education in Australia, beginning with a Masters in Theology and then heading into a PhD program. In order to do this, Volodya needs to raise quite a bit of money. Towards that end he has started a Go Fund Me page. Please check out his Go Fund Me and consider supporting him. He was an absolutely excellent translator and was a great help throughout the whole teaching process for me. He’s a bright and gifted guy and will certainly exceed at the doctoral level. If you’re interested in seeing some of his academic work, you can also check out his Academia.edu page here. Would you consider sending him some love?
