Russell & Carly

Serving in Asia Pacific since 2014
​For the past 12 years, Russell, Carly, Carter, and Landon Kloosterhuis have followed a calling that began right here in Calgary. While attending Foothills Alliance, they felt a stir toward overseas missions that eventually led them to Ethnos Canada for specialized training.

The Mission: Reaching the Unreached
Globally, over 2,100 language groups still live without access to the Gospel. In these communities, there is no local fellowship and no hope for the future. The Kloosterhuis family has dedicated their lives to changing that by planting indigenous, self-sustaining churches among the unreached.

​Their Current Roles:
• ​Russell: Serves as a teacher and disciple-maker, training believers from various people groups. His goal is to equip these individuals to carry the Word back to their own cultures and languages in the interior.
• ​Carly: Manages the home as she homeschools Carter and Landon, while also providing health & wellness for fellow missionaries and interior families.

"Our heart is to see the Hope of the Word reach the most remote locations through the very people who live there."
