Ukraine Medical Missions Honoring Joe Ragan
Project Overview
In 2003, Joe Ragan became part of the IMB family. For 17 years, he poured out his life for his people. When cancer first appeared in 2015, Joe experienced God’s healing and was given more time. He knew each day was a gift from God. “I feel like I have a new lease on life, and I don’t want to waste this chance,” Joe said in March 2019. He knew that Jesus was working to change people’s hearts across his adopted country. Joe considered living in Ukraine an incredible blessing and witnessed a great outpouring of God’s spirit in that country when thousands were saved during the 1990s.
Sadly, Joe went to be with Jesus in July 2020. Your gift will honor Joe’s memory and continue his medical missions work in Ukraine. Medical clinics are critical in this country because of the ongoing war with Russia.
In his last days, Joe ministered to displaced people in and around war zone on the Eastern border as military battles with Russia had already been occurring in that area for six years. Through clinics on the front-line and in nearby cities, patients have their physical needs met and also hear the gospel multiple times a day. Joe’s sense of urgency meant that thousands of people heard the gospel in the past few years. “I want to share this life with them and share this … knowledge that Jesus saves. One of the best, most effective ways we do that in Ukraine is through medical clinics.”
