What is the objective of the IFES Eurasia Institute?
Any effort at designing a training program or course must begin with some sense of the needs of the people or organization for which the training offers some solution. We obviously do not see training at the Institute, or in IFES Eurasia, as a whole, as an end in itself—it always serves as a means to the accomplishment of organizational or individual objectives, and, as most importantly, to the mission and vision of IFES Eurasia. As you know, the IFES vision to 2020 is called Living Stones, based on a passage in 1 Peter. Please read more here: http://ifesworld.org/about/vision. As a result of the Institute, you will be empowered and equipped with the necessary knowledge, skills and attitude to implement the Living Stones vision.
The program is designed to best suit your needs. You'll have time for Bible studies and work in groups, as well as personal reflection and rest.
We will organize a Sunday school program for the children at the Institute. There's a playground at the hotel's territory.
