121 places a high value on authentic relationships and partnering in ministry. These are only possible when we have close, focused relationships with key people in our partner ministries. We are committed to these partners "heart and soul," so please get to know them and, most importantly, pray regularly for them!

RUSSIA

Scott Werntz is the leader of Spoken For, an international youth outreach organization. Scott has had extensive experience with youth as a minister to students for several years before focusing on the kids in Russian orphanages full-time. Scott has definitely taken his work home with him - quite literally by adopting two teenage boys, Misha and Ruslan! Scott has taken over 60 trips to Russia and leads two large outreaches and several smaller efforts in Russia each year.
