Dr. Russell V. DeLong was reared in a New England parsonage and as a young man had planned a business career. But the call of God to the Christian ministry became so insistent that he was led to consecrate his life and talents to that work. He was ordained in 1926 and in the same year was called to the faculty of Northwest Nazarene College. The following year he was elected president of that institution, serving in that capacity for 12 years. With sound scholarship and wide experience, Dr. DeLong combines a fervency of spirit and an evangelistic zeal that has made him outstanding in the field of evangelism. His radio ministry on the "Showers of Blessing" broadcast gradually extended to a world-wide scope.
