NEW! 2010 Spring Newsletter here! (PDF)

Founded by Eric and Jan Muzart in 1993, SFC-Russia includes not only native Russians, but also many international students from all over the world. There are currently student-led, active chapters on secular university campuses in at least 8 Russian cities, including Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kursk, Voronezh, Krasnodar, Kazan, Rostov on the Don, and Nizhny Novgorod.  SFC-Saratov was planted in 2008.  SFC-Russia helped start SFC-Armenia, and hopes to assist students in other former Soviet Union countries to develop their own campus ministries, too.

SFC-Russia maintains unity and vision through common literature and training materials, a website (www.sfcrussia.org - currently available in Russian), an e-group, and products such as T-shirts and pens. The SFC-Russia office runs two national events per year: “Run the Race!”, a summer camp for intense student ministry leadership training, and a winter retreat for general attendance.  About 75 students attended “Run the Race! ‘07”.  The winter retreat “Destined to Win,” held Feb. 3-6, 2008 near Moscow, drew 171 students from 10 Russian cities.

Read about activities of various chapters in the SFC-Russia 2008 report (a PDF page). More information, including two movies, is also in the Students for Christ-Russia section of this web site. Through the archived newsletters, you can trace the history of the Muzarts' ministry in Russia since 1998. n
