He is a Warrior-in-Training with C H I E F Ministries while he works online toward aaining a Bachelor of Theology degree from Tyndale Theological Seminary. The mission of CHIEF is to come alongside the leadership of the church to encourage them and establish them in God’s Word so they will capably lead and teach their own people. In keeping with this, the last six years, Russ and Elvie have been working in northern Arizona on the Hopi Reservation at Kykotsmovi Mennonite Church. The church is about four-and-one-half hours north of Phoenix. Russ has been teaching the Word of God on the last Sunday of each month. We praise God for your partnership in doing His great work. Thank you, as well, for the kind words of encouragement to our family as we work together to bring glory to our great God. Pray for the Hopi Nation that there would be a yearning to know the Word of God. Pray for us on the last Sunday of the month that God would give us wisdom in encouraging and teaching these brothers and sisters in Christ, and for strength and quick recovery of Russ’ back and shoulders from the long drives up north.
