Dear friends,
Every time I reflect on this season, I am humbled by the way God provides through the people He sends. As I move deeper into full time ministry with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship at the University of South Florida, I am reminded that none of this work happens alone. Your prayers, your encouragement, and your generosity make this ministry possible.
For the 2025 to 2026 fiscal year, my full ministry budget is 110,000, which must be raised by June 30, 2026. This amount covers salary, benefits, materials, discipleship gatherings, outreach events, and the practical cost of shepherding graduate students, faculty members, and partners. It is a significant budget, and I am grateful for every person who stands with me.
To help you see how God is moving and what is still needed, I have included a simple breakdown: Green, Gold, and Blue.
If you are Green
Greens are my monthly partners. You are the foundation of my budget. Your regular giving is what allows me to plan, show up, and minister with consistency. Each month, your support strengthens everything God has entrusted to me on campus and in the community.
Current monthly partners: 23
Goal: 75 monthly partners
If you are one of my Greens, thank you. Your steady support is an answered prayer.
If you are Gold
Gold partners are those who give monthly, annually, or quarterly OR have given one time. Many of you pray, plan, and give at specific times of the year. Your gifts often create the momentum that moves ministry forward in big ways.
Current annual and quarterly partners: 20
Thank you for being strategic givers who invest deeply and generously.

Now about the Blue
The Blue section represents the support still needed to fully fund this mission. For me, that Blue is specifically summarized as:
“Monthly partners are still needed to fully fund this mission.”
Our Current support snapshot
Green (in account): 14,458
Gold (pledged or anticipated): 46,628
Blue (needed): 48,914
Much of this Blue comes from the early one time gifts that helped me launch into full time ministry. Those gifts were a tremendous blessing, but they were never meant to sustain the long term work. My next steps require committed monthly support so I can give myself fully to the spiritual formation of students and faculty.
How you can help close the Blue
If God has placed InterVarsity, USF, or this ministry in your heart, here are practical ways to help:
Become a monthly partner
I am praying for 52 more monthly partners to join at 100 per month.
Your gift creates stability and helps me stay fully present to the people I serve.
Increase your current giving
If you are already giving monthly or annually, would you prayerfully consider a small increase this year? Even a twenty dollar increase has real impact when the community moves together.
Introduce me to someone
Sometimes the greatest gift is a connection. If you know someone who cares deeply about ministry to students and faculty, I would love to meet them.
Continue praying for me
Pray for open doors on campus, for boldness in discipleship, and for the right partners to join this team.
Your partnership helps me minister to you, care for our community, and prepare for the day God allows me to be fully present on the USF campus every day of the week. Students and faculty are ready for mission work. This year, my heart is focused on strengthening gatherings, deepening discipleship, and building a faithful spiritual community among graduate students and professors.
Thank you for standing with me in this season. I would love to hear how I can pray for you as well.
With gratitude,
Pastor Jorgie Marshall
