THE UKRAINE REPORT: Oct. 15 - November, 2026

Dear Friends,

NOTE: to reply, email ronminton@gmail.com

The last months have been full and busy. We really do appreciate your prayers & partnership in our/your ministry. We wanted to get this update to you, and let you know the work is still going on and increasing. God has shown his grace many times and we thank him for that.

Bible College Update: Our Bible college has had the following classes since our last update: 1 & 2 Corinthians, Jonah (Women’s class), Genesis, Jeremiah, Matthew, 1 & 2 Timothy, Theology Proper, Dispensationalism, Bibliology, Ecclesiastes, and Eschatology. Eight professors taught in six different locations.

Also, we are planning for several high quality Bible College classes for women. We have a mother/daughter team that will be doing the teaching and the classes are designed to help and strengthen women in the Bible and in their walk with Jesus (Note that these classes are on temporary hold because of the war.). Even the war in Ukraine is not stopping the spread of the Word of God, thanks to the wonderful grace of Jesus.

Another announcement: The creation book that I have a chapter in, “Coming to Grips with Genesis,” is now available electronically in Arabic, Russian, Chinese, and Spanish. This will help strengthen many believers in solid biblical teaching of Genesis. For orders and info, see answersingenesis.org.

Visits: We have been able to visit some churches and share about the Ukraine ministry and teach and preach the Word of God. I did seminars for several churches, including one on the Navajo Reservation where Scott Merritt is the missionary who started the church. The people were so excited and glad to learn about God’s Word - the Bible in their hands. Scott and his wife Carrie are doing good work for our Lord.

Another one was a seminar on the Judgment Seat of Christ (JSOC). This is likely the most important doctrine for believers to know. Eternal Salvation is free and cannot be earned by works in any way at all. It is based on the sacrifice of Jesus. However, what Christians do in this current life will determine to what capacity they will be able to serve and honor Jesus for eternity. All believers will answer before Jesus at the JSOC - 2 Cor. 5:10 - “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.”

Nancy’s health: As you know, Nancy has Alzheimer’s and it does affect her. To show how time flies, here is a quote from our newsletter in 2016, over ten years ago. “Nancy has been teaching English to two sisters (12 and 10) for the summer. They all enjoy it. She will give them each a Russian/English New Testament as part of their last lesson.” This is really a lesson for all of us. The time we have to serve our Lord is limited on this earth. We need to make the best use of our time for Christ.

Praise:

• Nancy fell, but was not hurt.
• I have more opportunities to teach God’s Word
• We have a full schedule for the Bible college.
• We have more classes for women scheduled (When safety allows).

Prayer:

• Nancy’s health.
• Safe travels to churches
• More professors to teach for us
• The war in Ukraine
