Our Family
Hello! We are the Russell Family, missionaries to Mexico. My name is Adam Russell; my wife, Sarah, and I have three children- Cristian, Kendra, and Braden. The Lord has called our family to serve Him in the harvest fields of Mexico, where we plan to win lost souls to Christ, plant churches, and train national pastors to take over those churches.
Growing up, I lived a typical American life in a small country town in Washington State. I was brought up in a large family where there was no mention of God. It wasn’t until the age of twenty two, when I met Sarah and she invited me to church, that I was saved. Five years later in our home church at the annual mission’s conference, the Lord dealt with both my wife and I to be missionaries to Mexico.
After taking a survey trip to Mexico the calling was confirmed and I continued my studies under Pastor Bailey. With three years of studying under my pastor, several years of ministry work with children, teens, door knocking, open air work, and anything else in which the church had to an opportunity to serve, we are finally ready to start deputation. With our hearts set on reaching the people of Mexico, we are eagerly waiting to arrive and start the work the Lord has for us there!
For a more detailed testimony on our family, or the plans we have for our work in Mexico, please visit our website. www.russells2mexico.com You will also find pictures, contact information, and a short video presentation.
Please pray for us as we venture out on deputation. Also, please pray that the Lord will begin to soften the hearts of the Mexican people, that they might be ready to receive the Good News that we are bringing them of the saving power of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Mexico is a land of beauty, history, and culture, but it’s not without problems. As the world knows, some of the largest issues for the people of Mexico are corruption in the government, poverty, and drug wars. Mexico has the second highest degree of economic disparity between the extremely poor and extremely rich. There is an average monthly income of $1,000 amongst the people, but with this vast separation of the poor and rich, there are few that reach this average income. The best way to earn an average living in Mexico is through completed education, but this is very difficult to achieve when most teenagers are expected to quit school and start working in order to help out with the family.
