THE UKRAINE REPORT: July - October, 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 amazing. God has shown his grace many times and
we thank him for that.
Bible college update:
Our college, International Baptist Bible College, IBBC,
has classes in eight countries. In 2026, it has been expanding in locations
and outreach. In Kenya we are having great classes and the profs are eager to
teach more. In Uganda we have now completed ten classes. In Liberia three
classes were finished. In Ukraine good classes were held, and in spite of the
war, a lot more ministry was accomplished there, including personal evangelism,
sending aid, and personal visits to military hospitals to pray for the wounded
and to witness to them. Thank God for each one who helps and prays for wisdom
as I try to keep the college going strong. No job could be better than
spreading the Word of God around the world.
Medical Updates:
Nancy.
We have a new Neurologist for Nancy. Her previous one retired. She is
on new meds and please pray they will be what she needs. Initial indicators
are uncertain. She does require extra time from me and I am glad to see that
she can still show me that she loves me - though she can not say it. Pastors
and others who know her say she has always been a pleasant person who really
loves the Lord. Her prayers are not easy to hear and understand, but I can
understand more than others. I think theologically Jesus appreciates her
prayers more than he does mine or those of anyone who use big fancy memorized
words. We appreciate all those who pray for Nancy. We celebrated our 54th
anniversary on July the fourth.
Ron.
I had an echocardiogram done and a visit
with the cardiologist. My echocardiogram was “perfect.” I will have one more
cardiologist visit for a Stress Test. By God’s grace I am still in good
health. We all do need to eat well and get some exercise for the body (1 Tim.
4:8).
War Relief in Ukraine:
We regularly sent help to Ukrainians and families in need. We just sent more
US made tourniquets for the military, and we try to send the gospel message
each time. You are helping us by reaching, and training many Ukrainian
refugees and even military people.
