Spring 2024 Vision Trip - Save the Date!

Apr 24-27 - Antalya, Turkey

HopeRussia's vision trips coincide with our 2-week Spring Intensive Course, the highlight of our seminary's academic year. During Fall and Winter our students (serving in churches spread across 9 time zones) study diligently in our online courses while they look forward to meeting in-person in the Spring. 

We usually hold these intensives in St. Petersburg.  Due to the travel embargo, we’ve temporarily moved them to Turkey, easily accessible by Americans and Russians alike. The 2024 annual meeting of major supporting churches (called the Russia Partnership) will also be held as part of this trip, on Saturday, April 27.
