As Global Specialists, Russ continues in semi regular involvement with partnership issues/virtual gatherings and mentoring. He finds those extremely gratifying to see younger leaders providing godly leadership and maturing in their own spheres of influence.
Ramona continues with virtual mentoring of 2 young leaders in the Philippines and advising their leadership.
Russ and Ramona have made two trips back to the field in 2022 and 2024 and prayerfully anticipate another one in 2025 or 2026.
The highlight of their last trip was the opportunity for Ramona to travel by sea to another island where one of her 180 Degrees graduates is beginning a similar youth ministry! Russ loved seeing how God has used Mark, a former Muslim, in becoming a peacemaker between government, Muslims, and Christians.
They greatly appreciate supporters who have continued to help fund these ministry trips.
