Maryna Bark serves as Media & Communications Director at FindJesus.org, helping shape the ministry's visual storytelling, creative media, and public communication. Her work supports the mission of making the Gospel clear, accessible, and compelling through video, digital content, and thoughtful communication across the platform.

Originally from Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine, Maryna is fluent in Ukrainian, Russian, and English. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Translation from Zaporizhzhya Institute of Economics and Information Technologies in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine. Her background in language, communication, and cross-cultural understanding brings a unique perspective to the ministry's outreach and content development.

Maryna's faith journey is a testimony of God's patience, grace, and providence. Though she believed in God from an early age, it was later in life that she came to understand the Gospel personally and place her faith fully in Jesus Christ. Through Scripture, prayer, and the faithful witness of believers around her, the Lord drew her to Himself and transformed her life.

Her testimony reflects God's kindness in pursuing people personally and faithfully, even through unexpected circumstances. Today, Maryna is passionate about helping others encounter the truth of Christ and communicating the Gospel in ways that are clear, beautiful, and accessible to people from all backgrounds.

Maryna enjoys serving alongside her husband and family, supporting Gospel-centered ministry, and helping tell stories that point people to Jesus.

JoLinda Bark has known Jesus as her closest friend since she was very young, and she has seen His faithful guidance throughout her entire life. Her joy is to seek Him, listen for His leading, and encourage others to bring their hearts, burdens, concerns, and worries to Him in prayer.

JoLinda and her husband have been married for 55 years and have two grown sons, five grandchildren, and a number of adopted children whom they love deeply.

As Director of Prayer Ministries, JoLinda desires to help others experience the rest, peace, and love of Christ. Her ministry is shaped by Jesus’ invitation in Matthew 11:28: “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

Nicholas David Fedorow serves as Outreach Pastor at FindJesus.org, where he helps strengthen relationships with churches, pastors, and ministry leaders while advancing Gospel-centered evangelism and discipleship. He is passionate about equipping the local church to share Christ clearly, strengthen discipleship, and encourage believers to live boldly in their faith.

Dave is a first-generation American born in the United States to Ukrainian immigrant parents who came to America after World War II in search of opportunity and a better future for their family. Their journey across Europe before settling in the United States was marked by perseverance, sacrifice, and deep faith in God. That heritage continues to shape Dave's heart for ministry and service today.

Professionally, Dave built his career in manufacturing and leadership, advancing quickly into production management within the tool and die industry. He later completed supervision and management studies through Goshen College. Throughout his vocational life, he has remained committed to leadership, integrity, and serving others with excellence.

Dave's faith has been central to his life and ministry. He has a deep love for the Church, a strong conviction in the authority of Scripture, and a passion for seeing people come to faith in Jesus Christ and grow as disciples through the transforming work of the Holy Spirit. His ministry is rooted in the belief that salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone and that the Church is called to proclaim the Gospel with truth, boldness, and compassion.

Dave treasures time with family and remains devoted to serving the local church and helping others encounter the hope of Christ.

Jeffery Lain serves as Associate Pastor at FindJesus.org. He is deeply committed to helping people encounter Christ, grow in their faith, and walk in obedience to God's Word. Jeff has a genuine love for people and a shepherd's heart for both the lost and new believers, with a passion for encouraging others toward spiritual maturity through Scripture, discipleship, and practical faith.

Professionally, Jeff is a certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Surgical First Assistant with more than two decades of experience in healthcare. He holds a Master of Science in Nursing from Simmons University and a Bachelor of Arts in Biology from the University of Rochester. Through both ministry and medicine, Jeff has devoted his life to serving others with compassion, wisdom, and humility.

Jeff's faith journey has been marked by both hardship and grace. Through life's challenges, loss, and personal trials, he came to know the steadfast love, patience, and faithfulness of God in a deeper way. His testimony reflects God's continual presence through every season and his conviction that Christ meets people with mercy, healing, and hope.

Jeff's life and ministry are grounded in Ephesians 2:8-9: "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9, ESV)

This truth continues to shape his daily walk with Christ and his ministry to others. Jeff enjoys spending time with the Lord, reading Scripture, investing in his family, and encouraging believers to trust God fully. He is married and the father of five children.

Scott Gerger is a retired electro-optics engineer whose distinguished 46-year career spanned seven companies and produced 26 patents. Throughout his career, he held executive leadership roles at four organizations and provided technical leadership across all seven.

A dedicated teacher, Scott’s expertise has taken him around the world in both technical and spiritual capacities. Since committing his life to Christ in 1978 while attending Michigan Technological University, his faith and love for God and His Word have been the driving forces of his life. Scott currently serves as an Elder at New Life Community Church in Terre Haute, Indiana, where he has a deep and long-standing passion for discipleship and apologetics. His short-term mission work has frequently taken him to Puerto Cabello, Venezuela, and Hajdúböszörmény, Hungary.

Scott has been married to his high school sweetheart, Terrie, for nearly 47 years. They have two happily married sons and five grandsons who are true lights in the world. Newly retired, Scott is ready to tackle a different kind of challenge: learning the sport everyone seems to love—and hate—called golf.

Brian Bark is a devoted follower of Jesus, physician, and founder of FindJesus.org. He serves as a board-certified anesthesiologist in Indiana and has spent his professional life caring for people in moments of vulnerability, crisis, and need. Alongside his medical work, Brian has devoted himself to Christian discipleship, evangelism, theological study, and local church ministry.

Brian's path to ministry was shaped by a deeply personal journey of faith. After serving in the United States Army during Operation Iraqi Freedom, he returned home carrying the weight of combat and questions about purpose. Over time, through Scripture, prayer, and the grace of God, Brian experienced a complete surrender to Jesus Christ that transformed the course of his life.

Since then, his passion has been to help others encounter the same hope he found in Christ.

Brian holds a Doctor of Medicine from Indiana University School of Medicine and a Master of Divinity from Liberty University. He remains deeply committed to Gospel-centered evangelism, theological depth, church partnership, and making disciples who make disciples.

He is faithfully married to his beautiful wife, Maryna, and is the father of three children.

FindJesus.org was created from a simple burden: to make the Gospel contextually clear, accessible, and available to anyone while helping believers and churches share Jesus more intentionally in their communities and around the world.
