Supporting the spread of the Gospel around the globe
The History of the Russell Buck Fund
When our son Russ was killed in a car accident on October 25, 2006, God’s Word and promises instantly wrapped us in a blanket of supernatural peace and comfort. Oh yes - we grieved as any parents would, but the gratitude (and even joy) at knowing Russ is safe at home eternally has surpassed our earthly sorrow.
In the days, weeks and months following his death, God graciously revealed to us many ways that He has used Russell’s death to share His gospel message. Russ had personally supported mission work being done in East Asia with his Coast Guard earnings. God worked in and through Russ’s efforts to get the Gospel to Hmong and Laotian people in America (Green Bay, Wisconsin) and then back into East Asia. We rejoice that God used the Russell Buck Fund to assist those Hmong and Laotian workers and people from 2009 to 2013. God has drawn many to Hmong and Laotian people to hear the Gospel and be baptized. By God’s grace they all will join Russ in heaven!
The Russell Buck Fund exists to FOLLOW where God is working! It was established to continue and support the spread of the precious Gospel message to the lost in Asia - and now, beyond, WHEREVER God is working! The birth, perfect life, innocent sufferings and death on a cross, the resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ, Son of God - our all time prophet, priest and king! As a fund, the monies we take in and distribute have many diverse and important uses. We continue to support the evangelists in China that are attending Seminary and planting churches, and we also have funds readily available for God's plans in many other countries. 100% of the monies collected go to spreading the Gospel and is a tax deduction for you since we distribute it through our church. Getting monies into some of the countries is extremely difficult/tricky...sometimes dangerous. Since we are a FUND, the monies are fluid and require no "board meetings/approval" - they are accessible and usable (usually) quickly when the need arises! The Lord has provided amazing "boots on the ground" support in these countries - passionate missionaries/teams of missionaries (and sometimes their families) that we personally know and trust! (important!)
We pray that you will consider supporting God’s work through this Fund. Please read the information supplied on this website concerning this outreach ministry. You will see that MUCH can be accomplished on about $5,000 per month. Please note that 100% is applied to the ministry budget and a Fund Board exists to oversee the distribution of funds. We covet your prayers for this ministry - that EVERY dollar be used for God's glory, to bring souls to Himself in Heaven! Thank you for your interest and consideration in supporting the Russell Buck Fund - to God alone be the glory!
