This foundational principle drives their multifaceted outreach, which has touched the lives of over eleven million people with the message of the Gospel since its inception.

Prophet Russ operates powerfully in the prophetic realm, evidenced by numerous signs, miracles, and wonders, including the remarkable accounts of two resurrections from the dead. His distinctive background uniquely equips him to minister with both the compassionate heart of a pastor and the fervent zeal of a prophet.
Reaching a global audience daily, Father’s Heart Ministry sends out “The Daily Prophetic Word” to over 110,000 subscribers worldwide, offering timely encouragement and spiritual insight. Furthermore, their live weekday morning Bible study provides in-depth scriptural understanding, systematically going through the Bible chapter by chapter. The Morning Light Daily Bible Study resonates with over 28,000 subscribers and continues to expand its reach daily, with listeners joining from diverse locations as far afield as Beijing, China, and Siberian Russia.
Demonstrating a commitment to equipping others, Russ also leads a comprehensive online prophetic school. Over the past seven years, this school has successfully graduated over 10,000 students, imparting the principles and practices of mature prophetic ministry. The curriculum is intentionally designed to benefit and bless the body of Christ through the activation of the Gifts of the Spirit, in accordance with 1 Corinthians 12:4-12.
Expanding his outreach, Russ launched an impactful online evangelism initiative at www.newexpectations.net. This vital platform has already witnessed over 3,000 individuals making a first-time commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ, alongside numerous rededications. Recognizing the importance of discipleship, each new believer is personally connected with and provided with a 52-week foundational Bible course to nurture their spiritual growth.
Upon a new believer’s commitment to Christ, Father’s Heart Ministry ensures comprehensive support by connecting them with one of their extensive network of over 200 dedicated intercessors, who commit to praying specifically for their needs. Furthermore, they are introduced to the ministry’s online web church platform at MediaChurch.net and their active Facebook “e-Church” forum. These online communities provide readily accessible avenues for encouragement and fellowship, intentionally designed to complement and strengthen the vital connection to a local church body, which the ministry strongly encourages.
Father’s Heart Ministry strategically prioritizes leveraging the full potential of social media and the internet as powerful tools for widespread Gospel dissemination. Complementing this digital emphasis, Russ maintains a strong commitment to fostering meaningful relationships with local churches and ministry groups throughout the United States and Western Europe. The ministry has spanned congregations of all sizes, and in 2013, they ministered for several days to an estimated audience of 30 million Hispanic viewers through a Houston-based Hispanic Christian television network.
Driven by a deep conviction, the ministry believes humanity stands on the verge of a new and significant Great Awakening, both nationally and globally. In their transition from pastoral to prophetic ministry over the past decade, their guiding principle remains “love never fails” (1 Corinthians 13:8). They firmly believe that prophecy serves for edification, exhortation, and comfort (1 Corinthians 14:3), with the purpose of building up believers and offering encouragement, rather than tearing down or unnecessarily burdening their hearts. Their vision is to serve in the prophetic with humility, akin to washing the feet of the people, empowering them to step into and fulfill their God-given destinies.
