OUR STORY
We've been working in Christian missions full-time since 2006, spending our best hours of each day helping others discover Jesus.
Russ graduated from the University of Waterloo and majored in computer science. Meredith graduated from the University of Guelph and majored in studio art and marketing.
We were married in 2009 after meeting through our work with Power to Change.
After serving students on campus at the University of Toronto and Western University from 2006-2010, we helped to lead the national operations of the student ministry of Power to Change.
In April 2014, we moved to Orlando, Florida to serve on Cru's global digital strategies team, giving spiritual and strategic leadership in digital strategies for Cru's global movement. Russ served as a director of digital products and as a senior director of digital strategies. Meredith served as a graphic designer and home-base manager.
In January 2019, we moved our family to Singapore to continue our work with Cru's global digital strategies but from a centralized location to serve leaders in 26 countries in the asia pacific region. Our proximity to these leaders allowed us to accelerate and support the digital deployment of many ministry initiatives, especially as the COVID-19 pandemic raged.
In January 2021, our work shifted to being seconded (loaned) to the Lausanne Movement as director of digital engagement. The Lausanne Movement is a well respected global network that connects influencers and ideas for global mission. Russ is in charge of building a digital transformation roadmap as the organization seeks to enhance it's online platform ahead of the 4th global congress on world evangelisation to be held in Korea and many satellite locations in 2024.
Russ also continues to serve as managing director of Indigitous, a global network helping Christians reach their world using digital tools and experiences.
We have three children - Wyatt (March 2012), Gwenyth (October 2013) and Heath (March 2016).

Our Organizations
Our work involves four different organizations/movements that are all working together towards Jesus' great commission of making disciples of all the nations.
Lausanne Movement - "Connecting influencers and ideas for global mission." Founded by Billy Graham in 1974, the Lausanne Movement has been connecting influencers and ideas for global mission, with a vision of the gospel for every person, an evangelical church for every people, Christ-like leaders for every church, and kingdom impact in every sphere of society. The Lausanne Movement is one of the most trusted/influential global, inter-denominational convenors of the body of Christ.
Indigitous - "A movement passionate about connecting people to Jesus using digital strategies." Sponsored by Cru and Power to Change, this is the outward face of much of our daily work. Indigenous because it reflects our desire for locally-generated strategies that work in each generation, language and culture. Digital because we believe digital tools, resources, platforms and strategies can accelerate God’s mission. Russ leads this network as the managing director.
Power to Change - "Helping you reach your world." Based in Canada, this is who we technically work for. Power to Change is committed to changing the spiritual direction of Canada and around the world by making disciples in the various domains of society including students, athletes, business leaders and government.
Cru - "Cru is a caring community passionate about connecting people to Jesus Christ." Headquartered in the USA, Cru is a global network of organizations, including Power to Change, working towards a vision of everybody knowing somebody who truly follows Jesus.
