Russell has pastored at Chita Baptist Church since 1996 when by God's wondrous grace He called him out of the midst of the congregation and into the ministry of the gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 3:7 "Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power."

May the Lord be pleased to continue a work here among the Saints which He has assembled together at Chita.
