Randy and Shelley Marshall

Randy and Shelley Marshall serve with One Mission Society in Kyiv, Ukraine. Their main focus is disciple-making, and they use English to serve Ukrainians and to make new contacts. They organize English camps during the summer for university students and offer weekly English clubs at a Kyiv university. For students or adults of any age who become spiritually interested, they offer Discovery Bible Studies to help them investigate the claims of Jesus, and they gather those who want to follow him into worshiping home groups called Life Groups. Their goal is to see the existing network of Life Groups grow and multiply as Ukrainians reach their friends and families with the Good News. 

Randy and Shelley met in a Christian singing group during their college years. Randy was studying to be a journalist, and Shelley was a music teacher. Randy worked for five years as a newspaper reporter, and Shelley two years as an elementary music teacher, before both were called to serve in Eastern Europe with OMS as part of the cooperative organization called CoMission. The Marshalls have three sons: Alex, Andrew, and Philip. Randy has completed his master of divinity degree through Asbury Theological Seminary.

Before moving to Ukraine in 2003, Randy and Shelley served seven years in another Eastern European country. For the first three years, the Marshalls worked with the CoMission, taught Christian ethics and morals to public school teachers, and established Bible study groups with new believers. Then, for four years, Randy served as an OMS coordinator in that Eastern European country, helping believers organize new churches in both former CoMission cities and new locations.
