Welcome, Leroy Blair, our CEF summer director …

They share about themselves ..

Leroy is from Kings, NY formally known as Brooklyn. From the age of two, Leroy use to dress himself to go to church with his great-aunt. Leroy came to know the Lord in his pre-teens on an Easter Sunday at his home church, Evergreen Baptist Church.   In no time, Leroy started working with the babies in the nursery. As Leroy increased in faith so did the age group of the children he worked with stopping with the teens. Although Leroy spent many years working in ministry with children it wasn’t until he arrived in Syracuse that he became very active with CEF especially since his wife, Ruth, was no stranger to CEF.

Ruth grew up attending The Shekinah House of prayer and praise church back in her home country, India. There she learned about the Lord and accepted Him as Lord and Savior at the age of 9.  Ruth served within many ministries in the church and began working with CEF at the age of 18. It was very evident that Ruth felt a calling on her life since a youth.  Ruth was so instrumental with CEF in India that the director started grooming her to replace her until God led Ruth to come to the USA and here obtained a degree in theology from Davis College.

It was there at Davis that Ruth and Leroy met. It was evident to some of the professors that these two would end up together by the way they fought like an old married couple and yet the way they complemented each other. They tied the knot once they both heard from God in June of2018 and jumped in ministering together while wrapping up their studies. They both completed their college requirements May of 2020.   As a result of the pandemic, they will finally have college commencement this August 2021.
