Teaching in Rivne with Zhenya translating

"It matters a great deal who is going to win, but not at all who won"

Willie John McBride, Irish Rugby player

2009 Visit

Stuart was in Ukraine (4-10 May). We have a project in Ukraine; we are trying to improve the skills of people doing church football ministry by giving them some training and an English FA coaching qualification. To do so we need the permission of the Ukraine Football Federation (FFU). The purpose of his visit was to meet someone at the FFU to get permission. The meeting went well but they want to think about it, follow procedures.

As well as that he:

- Did three teaching sessions at a training course;

- Did two TV interviews;

- Participated in a meeting about ministry at the European Football Championships in Ukraine (2012);

- Attended a meeting on sports ministry in Ukraine and Russia;

- Engaged in lots of 1-2-1 conversations.
