Training men not only includes a study of the Scriptures but also involves seeking faithful men to propagate the Gospel to their people.  Early conversions of 1993 soon demanded an entity for maturation of those Christians. 

            American gospel preacher, Harry Summers, became the Dean of the founding school in Barnaul, Russia in 1994.  Frank Chappell succeeded Brother Summers and served as Director of the training school until 1998 when Sunset International Bible Institute took the oversight, re-organization, and planning of the school.  Jerry Sisemore was appointed by SIBI to be Dean of SIBI Branch School of Barnaual, Russia. Jerry Sisemore has served well until the present.  Now, SIBI is transitioning Andrey Skyelerov into the role of Dean of the Barnaul Branch School.

Bible Institute attempted to make the advance training for the Russian faculty complete in 2002.  Vladislav Remizov, the only non-English speaking faculty member, was brought to study with the assistance of his wife Svetlana as interpreter.  Although Vladislav and Svetlana were doing very well in school at SIBI, an unexpected aneurysm and imminent death of Vladislav cut short the prescribed program of training of the faculty for further growth of the Branch School in Barnaul.
