Reaching Russia for God's Glory

Hello all,

This blog will be used to communicate with and to see how God's glory is being spread among Ekateringburg, Russia! This blog will be used to communicate with Jordan Marcum, Sarah Ingham, and Ryan Bibb. The three of us are from Eastern Kentucky University and we have been apart of Campus Crusade for Christ or CRU for the past few years of our college career. We have been blessed to have this opportunity to share the name of Jesus Christ among Russian students this summer and we are glad for people who have supported us financially and in prayer. We hope through this blog you will be able to experince the opportunity you have invested in by what we post on a weekly basis. We want to thank all of you that are reading this blog and most of all thanking God for what he has done not only in our lives but the lives we will get to impact this summer through our risen Savior!

Feeling Refreshed

June 11

Hey Everyone!!!!!!
Things are going well here and the weather is even supposed to get warmer tomorrow! We are still meeting with students and getting to know them and that has been very fun and exciting. There have definitely been times that I have felt discouraged but God is gracious and has continually picked me up and shown me love and how His plans are always, always better than mine.

Today I had two girls cancell meeting which was a little discouraging but Kerry and I had another girl that still wanted to meet with us. We knew her from last summer and Kerry had previously shared the Gospel with her. We talked alot about how life had been in the last year and began to talk about God. We were able to share the Gospel again and she understood and had alot of very good questions and shared her prespective as well. She said that she wanted to think about what we had talked about and we are going to meet with her again next week somtime. This was very encouraging because at times it is hard to communicate, but God is fluent in every language and somehow can use us to share His love with others. Praise God!

This time in the summer seems to be difficult for many members of the team. Just like last summer, people are beginning to get sick, homesick, and discouraged because students will canel meetings or it is difficult to dind students who want to meet. Please pray for our team and that we will encouraged and that the Lord will be moving and working in students hearts all over the city. Please also pray for the health of the team as well.

Thank you very much for your prayers. I love and miss you all and look forward to seeing you when we return home!

-Sarah
