It is always exciting for us to hear that a church in our area has called a long-awaited and prayed for staff member. FBC of Farwell welcomes a new Senior Pastor, Russ Ponder. Russ is not new to their congregation. He served as a youth pastor with them until 2005. He has been serving recently at FBC of Hamlin, Tx. Russ is married to his wife, Kim, and they have two sons. Branson just graduated and Pearce will be a senior this year. Russ will preach his first sermon at FBC Farwell on July 24.
