Preach the good news to everyone, everywhere… Mark 16:15
Go and make disciples of all nations…Matthew 28:19
Empower and encourage believers to reach their familes, communities, and nations!
Unlike my wonderful wife Beth, I have lived in Tennessee all my life. I grew up in Hixson, TN with my parents B.T. & Wilma Trussell and two brothers Danny and Mike. We have been in the family restaurant business for more than 30 years with the last 8 running my own BBQ place.
I have always had a great heart for missions, serving in urban missions for many years in Chattanooga’s Inner City and by serving in short term mission projects in countries such as Guatemala, Trinidad, & Tabago.
I consider myself a crazy football fan with a strong affection for the Tennessee Vols and the Colts.
I’m hoping to learn the game of soccer, but I don’t know if you can teach an old dog new tricks.
I am a preacher’s kid so that means I am not really from everywhere. I was born in Pulaski, TN but just lived there a few short months and have lived in places such as Denver, Nashville, Townsend, and Chattanooga.
I attended Lee University back when it was Lee College and studied Intercultural Studies (Missions).
Terry and I have 3 daughters, Autumn, Olivia & Sydney, and a granddaughter Madeline.
For the past 10 years I have served as Executive Director to The Nehemiah Project an outreach ministry to the inner city of Chattanooga.
I love to paint and create, scrapbook, read and watch movies in my free time.
The Country of Uruguay is the nation most resistant to the Gospel. Only 6% of the entire country profess any type of religion with 3% Christians. You can be apart of what Christ is doing in Uruguay through short term missions.
You can minister through:
…Church Plant Building Projects
…Youth Camps, Sports Camps, Arts Camps
…Kids Crusades
…Beach Outreach
…Conferences
We are committing ourselves to planting churches throughout the country of Uruguay. There has not been a new church planted in Uruguay in more than 15 years. We recently took a trip to Uruguay to meet with leaders there who have a vision to see new churches planted. Currently there are 12 couples in the Ministerial Internship Program. These are couples who make their way every month to the country’s capital of Montevideo, at their own expense, in order to become pastors. God has called them for a new work, however, they do not have the ability to plant a church on their own.
Here is where you come in. It is our desire to partner churches with these interns and local pastors to help bring the resources and support to the new church plant.
Yesterday, Terry and I were painting one of the rooms in the house. I set up my computer to play some music and chose the Bethel Live CD on my ITunes. We were just painting and singing and having a great time. We both have listened to this CD many, many times. As the music [...]
I haven’t written in a while but want to start back because God has been dealing with me on many things in my own life that I need to share with you all. I am already looking toward next year and the words that are motivating me are Generosity! I want to live a generous [...]
