WAKE UP, AMERICA!

An exhortation from Dr. Ronald Russell

 

Dr. Ronald Russell knows a few things about the vulnerabilities and defense of our country, — both from a military and spiritual perspective. He served in military intelligence and as Chief of Chapel Support Activities, overseeing 3 chapels at Andrews Air Force Base, the home of Air Force One.

​

Dr. Russell’s overseas assignments included Italy and Turkey. His early military experiences taught him to keep a close eye on current events and social changes, being mindful of correlations to the Scriptures.  

 

Since 1994, Dr. Russell has been Senior Pastor at The Lighthouse Church of God in Mexico, NY, where he has taken his call to protect his flock quite literally.  

 

Given our current age of increasing violence (often directed at women and children), as well as threats of power-grid outages, food shortages, and bioterrorism, Dr. Russell has thoughtfully and strategically educated, prepared and equipped his congregation.

His church has sponsored self-defense courses for women (including gun-safety for those interested), and maintains a large supply of emergency food rations, water purification systems and candles.  And the Lighthouse Church has long been known for Community food-giveaways. Dr. Russell and the Lighthouse church have also made appearances on Fox national News!

 

Dr. Russell was most recently interviewed by Fox News when he declared on the church’s marquee: “We are not a gun-free zone!” See the story here.

 

Fox News had previously covered Dr. Russell’s victory in a 6-year lawsuit that ultimately confirmed his right to imprint the name of Jesus onto bricks he purchased to line the walkway of the Mexico, NY High School. Answering the call to educate and preach the Word to a larger audience, Dr. Russell embarked (3 decades ago) on a radio ministry that now reaches over 4 million people, from Upstate NY down to Virginia.  

 

Finally, Bishop Russell also serves as the COG District Overseer for Northern, NY, and serves on the N.Y. State Board for the Church of God, which governs 140 churches.
