Dear Pastor Burress and friends at Victory Baptist Church,
Here it is the end of summer so we realize we must tell you about a few happenings. Three days each week, Nancy and I have a Russian language tutor come to the house and teach us. It is a challenge to say the least, but is rewarding also. Ron has been able to preach in some new churches (through a translator) and interest in attending our Bible College keeps growing.
Here are a few prayer / praise items:
- for improvement in Nancy's eye after her surgery
- for the record number of classes we are scheduling for the 2008/2009 school year
- for strength to keep up with the progress of the work here, especially the traveling
- this past 4th of July was our 36th anniversary
- for the tracts we give out and leave on the train (we are on the train almost daily)
Recently, we had missionary Tim Downs come from Africa to teach a missions course for us. This was exciting because some students said they are willing to be missionaries if God chooses. Below is another student testimony. Mostly in the past newsletters we heard from men. This is from one of our new young lady students. She loves Jesus Christ. Her name is Luba Babak, and here is her photo.
"I like very much studying Cultural Anthropology (missions), especially I liked teachers because they were very interesting for me. This course helped me to look at the world with new eyes. Many words which Timothy told were I believe from his heart, especially example from the life of Africa. Also one more miracle which God made in the life of Timothy in Africa. Most of all, I liked the organization, exams, and tests which Ron Minton and Timothy prepared. It was a big difference from my studying in the university. This is like real teaching and it helped me to think and relate to my situation in life."
We really appreciate you folks at Victory Baptist.
Thanks for partnering with us,
Ron and Nancy Minton
