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!

Jordan, Ryan and Sarah

Forest Fun Party

This past weekend was the Forest Fun Party and it was outside a small town about 45 minutes away from Ekaterinburg and about 60 people went. It was a great time of community building and activities. The event started with putting everyone on five teams and having our own Olympic games. Then there was a talk about love and community and the discussion time started a lot of great conversation. Then when night broke we had a great game of capture the flag. Saturday night was the night Russia played the Netherlands in Soccer. So at 12:45 am Sunday morning a lot of the Russians and most of us crowded into this room and watched Russia win the upset and it was great because they were cheering and chanting and it was cool to see that.
But the next day we had another talk and more great conversation. Then the final events of the day and during free time Americans had the chance to talk individual with students and plan for meeting with other students during this up coming week. So pray that we can follow up with these students this week.

So it was a great weekend and hopefully we will finish strong this week and the Lord will leave a lasting impression.

And Sarah did have a little accident and her ankle was sprained pretty good and it is getting better but keep her in your prayers that the ankle will heal. Jordan is also having tough time today, just not feeling good, so keep us all in your prayers. Be home soon.
