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

A Little Encouragement

June 9th


Hello everyone!

So recently I had been feeling discouraged because at times it can be very difficult to communicate the Gospel to students here. But the Lord is good and Kerry and I were able to share the Gospel with 3 girls and they understood!!! It was great and totally the Lord. Another girl Maggie was able to translate alot and it went so great. God is so good and I am just very encouraged by how He is working here! We have met alot of students and will continue to meet with them in the coming weeks.


Something we talked about before we left was choosing joy. Situtations can be very difficult or seem hard but we have so much joy in the Lord so why would I not choose joy?? God has been so good and has worked in little ways that maybe no one else would notice (such as our window being fixed and it only took 1 day! it has been very cold here!) and in big ways such as communicating the Gospel in a way that is clear and understandable! God has given us so much grace and there is so much to be joyful about!

We have 3ish more weeks to be here and to meet with students. Please continue to pray for us and the students we will meet. I thank you for your prayers because we are seeing the result of them here!
