THE NEW DAWN OF DAYSPRING MINISTRIES

Dayspring Ministries seeks to proclaim the Christian gospel to rarely visited Pacific Island people, and to communicate the truths of the life, the teachings, the death and bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ. Where there are Christians, the calling is to build them up in their faith.

Our Mission is to both continue and expand upon the work undertaken by Ron and Aggie Russell as they sailed throughout the Pacific for 35 years since 1970. During this time they visited hundreds of islands with teams from the South Pacific Bible Society and Campus Crusade for Christ, and shared the Gospel with unbelievers. However in June 2005 their yacht Dayspring III foundered on a reef off Wallis Island, effectively closing the chapter of Ron and Aggie's remarkable work.

Subsequent discussions with the Russells and their Mission partners affirmed that the need to continue to reach the island nations of the South Pacific with the Gospel remained as vital as ever. And so from 2008 the new 'Dayspring Ministries' under new leadership has been continuing with this work.
