Missing NOBTS student found in Alabama hospital

May 5, 2016

NEW ORLEANS – New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary student John Russell, missing since April 22, has been found in an Alabama hospital. Russell has been in the ICU at D.W. McMillan Hospital in Brewton, Ala., since April 22 following an accident.

Hospital officials were unable to identify Russell until May 4. After identifying Russell, who is still in ICU, Alabama authorities notified NOBTS that he had been found. Russell’s mother has been notified and is traveling to be with him during his recovery.

NOBTS President Chuck Kelley asked for continued prayer for Russell as he recovers.

“We rejoice that our student John Russell has been found and is receiving the medical care he needs,” Kelley said. “Please join us in praying for his full recovery.”
