“Equipped with lifelong tools and values”

 “I was a stubborn young Ukrainian who thought he knows everything. LCC gave me perspective, taught me humility and openness, equipped me with lifelong tools and values, and created a space for me to build meaningful relationships with people all over the world. After graduation, I did missionary work internationally, became a teacher, went to study in one of the best theological grad schools in North America, moving 11 000km away from home. This tiny campus in Klaipėda has a weird unexplainable tendency to drastically change lives if you allow it to."
