Todd Russell

Todd has been serving as a Youth Director for the Milan Church of Christ youth group, FOUNd, since January 2005. In addition, he has taught the teen boy’s Sunday school and preached on Sunday mornings in the absence of Shawn McMullen. Todd is a graduate of Indiana University with a bachelor’s degree in Business Management. He has been an Aflac representative since 1995. He believes his experience with Aflac has been God’s way of preparing him for work in ministry. “It has not only given me practice with public speaking, but has taught me the value of serving others.” Todd says that serving at Milan has strengthened his own faith, while giving him many opportunities to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with others. Todd feels the most important decision a person will make in his/her lifetime is the decision to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. And the most important thing a person can do in his/her lifetime is to give someone else the opportunity to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. No other decision or task a person does will compare to those two things when this life is over and we enter eternity.

Scripture’s that summarize Todd’s mission statement:

Matthew 6:33
But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Proverbs 16:3

Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.

Debbie Walker

Debbie has been teaching the teen girls Sunday morning class since July 2005, and is also a leader of the youth group FOUNd. Debbie has been working with teen girls since 1982, when she taught cosmetology at the South Eastern Indiana Career Center. After 10 years as a teacher there she followed her aspiration of owning her own salon. She owned the salon for 8 years then sold, but in her 8 years of owning the salon she gained great communication and leadership skills which she now can use to help spread the word of the lord. These skills also help her when teaching her Sunday school class and with the youth group. Debbie feels when making all decisions and choosing your path in life, that if you put God first you'll have a great foundation to fall upon when things get tough.

Debbie's two favorite sayings are:

"Each day is a gift from God, enjoy it to the fullest."

"What would Jesus do?"
