The Ukraine Report

THE UKRAINE REPORT for AUGUST - SEPTEMBER 2010

Dear Pastor Burress and friends at Victory Baptist Church,

After visiting some churches, we took and finished an intensive two-month Russian Language course on July 30, 2010. It was a challenge to say the least. Nancy and I both passed. This will really help in our Ukraine ministry.

On August 1, we formally started our furlough and have been in several great missions conferences. Now we are reporting what God has done in Ukraine.

- We now have 25 pastors who are taking our classes.
- We now have classes in seven Ukraine cites - three main regions.
- Our goal of 100 total students was surpassed - we have had over 500.

We sent Tanya K, our translator, to the Philippines to work with missionaries Dennis and Gloria Ebert for four months. She is studying English, the Bible, and theology there. It was quite a change from Ukraine to the tropics.

In September our fall 2010 classes start up in Ukraine. With a lot of planning and help, we are able to keep all our scheduled courses going while we are on furlough.

Please pray for:
- all our helpers in Ukraine to do well
- all the Bible college students and teachers
- traveling mercies and health for us during the days ahead

We really appreciate you folks at Victory Baptist helping us win Ukrainians for Christ. Thanks for partnering with us.

Ron and Nancy
