History
We began supporting UBTS through church-directed funds in 2006. With the demonstrated on-the-ground effectiveness of UBTS and its related ministries, and a groundswell of U.S. interest for the work in Ukraine, UPF was established as an independent 501(c)(3) charitable organization in 2011.
Under the leadership of Yaroslav (Slavik) Pyzh and by the Grace of God, these ministries continue to equip increasing numbers of Christian leaders with the skills and values that will guide Ukraine's future. Our dream is a transformed Ukraine where Christ followers love, lead, and serve with joy and integrity.
