Ed and Pam Norris

The Norrises and their children joined WIM in 1992. After ministering in Kursk in 1995 and 1997, the family moved to Russia in 1998 and worked with The Ark Pentecostal Church in Kursk.

God moved on the Norrises to minister to a rarely-targeted group: international university students from Asia, Africa, C/S America, studying technical fields or medicine in Kursk. The focus is on discipleship for life, leadership, and ministry. In 2002, they started Word of Christ Church International (WCCI) with these foreign students in Kursk. In 2022, WCCI celebrated 20 years of reaching and discipling young adults for the Nations. Their vision is to reach more international students and increase work among Russians. Their three children are married to Russians and all serve in various ministries. The Norrises have seven grandchildren!
