ABOUT FOUNDERS
MEET BLAKE & KRISTA
Blake & Krista Russell are the founders of 7M Ministries. In 2016 the Lord aligned their lives for a chance reconnection after 13 years apart. They were high school sweethearts who took 2 very different paths in life. Blake was a pro-baseball hopeful who fell into the life of drugs, gangs and ultimately 8 years in prison. Krista was a college cheerleader, Survivor contestant and corporate ladder employee who found herself in an unfulfilling rat race to the top. Now, with 2 kids and 7 years of marriage, they have taken their life story as a call to honor the Lord, together, as He had originally planned. Blake and Krista have a passion to share the Gospel and see lives changed. Their hope is that this ministry opens up a community of people around the world to connect virtually, physically and spiritually.

The Story of
7M MINISTRIES
Blake was saved in 2012 while in the 3rd year of a 5 yr prison term. The prison he was in was Easterling Correctional Facility in Clio, Alabama. A couple of years after his release, the Lord opened the door for him to go back in as a minister! The men still serving in this institution hold a very special place in our heart seeing that they were the very ones that lead Blake to the Lord.

We will work, but it will be from His rest. Unless the Lord builds the house, those that build build in vain (Psalm 127:1)
