Ron Ratliff

Ron Ratliff and wife Iva Gail have been in the ministry for 27 years and now pastor the Tenth Street Baptist church in Trenton, Mo., where they have been for four years. They live 18 miles west of Trenton and run a cow/calf operation. Involved in the horse and cow business most of their lives, they have a deep love for the land and the people of rural America as well as the life style. The ministry is Ron's great love, with cowboy life second. He says, "There's only one thing I enjoy more than saddling a good horse and checking the banker's cows, and that is preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ!"

Ron preaches revivals and writes and recites cowboy poetry when time and opportunity permit. He has recorded a CD of his original cowboy poetry.
