One year ago, our team at the NOVUS Foundation gathered in prayer, seeking direction for the next step in our mission. On February 18, 2024, we simply asked: "Lord, show us what's next."

Exactly one year later, to the day, God answered in the most extraordinary way.

Eighteen students from across Poland, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and even the United States walked into their first meeting as part of the newly launched Theology and Counseling (TC) Studies program, held in partnership with WBST–International Theological College in Warsaw. These are not just students—they are called, courageous individuals, preparing to bring healing and hope into some of the world’s most broken places.

Among them is Annie, an American who grew up in Crimea as a missionary kid and now ministers to Ukrainian refugees. Another student tuned in from Ukraine—until an air raid siren forced her to flee mid-ceremony to a bomb shelter. Miraculously, she was unharmed. These stories are not exceptions. They are our new reality.

God is raising up a new generation of leaders—and He’s using YOU to do it.

Through your prayers and generosity, you helped build this bridge of opportunity. Every lesson taught, every counselor trained, and every life touched is a testament to your faith in action. And we're just getting started. With your continued support, we’re now preparing for the October 2025 intake, responding to a flood of interest from Nigeria, Ethiopia, the Philippines, India, and beyond—more than 60 inquiries in just five weeks!

But here's the truth: 98% of our future students can’t attend without a scholarship.

We’re praying—and boldly asking—for help to:

Fund scholarships for the next class

Equip our students and faculty with essential learning tools
Sustain our dedicated team on the ground

Will you help us say “yes” to the next Annie? The next student sheltering from bombs? The next wave of faithful servants preparing to counsel and care in Christ’s name?

Your gift isn’t just educational—it’s eternal.

Let’s keep building this miracle, together.

With gratitude and expectation,

Aneta, Pablo, Lina, Piotr, and Stasia
