Russells' Prayer Letter
Russells' Prayer Letter
5. It allows us to serve in the areas of our strengths especially where we have been trained and prepared. 6. We will be able to teach in Bible Colleges on a modular basis throughout South America and Central America. 7. We already know all the field leaders, regional administrators and other missionaries serving in this region and we have a great relationship with them. In this new ministry role, we do have some goals. These are just a few: 1. We want to open up new fields and countries in South America and Central America where we currently have no missionaries serving. 2. We want to help our missionary teams get excited about training nationals to go out as missionaries themselves - especially to the countries that are located in the 10/40 window, that is, countries in Northern Africa, Middle East, and North of the Mediterranean Sea. The Latin culture more closely aligns with the cultures represented in the 10/40 window and so Latins make great missionaries to reach people living in this part of the world. We need missionaries from the USA to go to South America and train national leaders to go out as missionaries to serve in countries in the 10/40 window.

Apart from the prayer requests referred to above, please also pray for: 1. Nikki and I will be traveling to Mexico, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua departing in early May. Please pray for our ministry in these 3 countries and for Gods financial provision for this trip. 2. Brazil We have some urgent legal paperwork to complete so that our missionary team is able to transfer properties to Brazilian churches. 3. Our team in Lima, Peru needs to sell a camp property as soon as possible to free up funds so that we might be able to purchase a Bible seminary property that is being offered to us at a fraction of the cost. 4. We desperately need more church planters, church planter assistants, Bible Institute teachers, camp workers, youth workers, school teachers, and others to answer the call of missions to come and help us in Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay. 5. We also have an urgent need for a short term 3rd/4th grade teacher for our English speaking Christian School in Chile (housing is provided) needed to start teaching in late July. We need both short term missionaries and long term missionaries. If you can help us, please send us an email. Wed love to hear from you. 6. I mentioned before but I will mention here again due to the severity and urgency of the need, please prayerfully consider supporting us. If you already support us, please prayerfully consider increasing your support if you are able. We are thankful for all the churches and 24 individual families that personally support us. If you would like to join our Ministry Partners, please follow the instructions listed previously. If God were to give us 18 new families at $100 per month, we would meet the goal. Thanks for praying! Our hearts were deeply touched a few weeks ago when we received notice that we have a new individual supporter. It touched our hearts because this particular family is another missionary family that currently serves in South America a missionary couple we barely know. They said that since God has placed us in this new expanded ministry, and because the need is great, God has led them to personally support us on a monthly basis. My, how humbling that a missionary that barely knows us wishes to be a part of our own ministry in a financial way. We serve with some wonderful people in Latin America and the 23 other individual families that also support us are wonderful folks that we love and thank God for.
