Founders

Dr. Russell Welch is a commissioned apostolic reformer whose life carries a singular mandate: to awaken, equip, and mobilize the Remnant for the advancing Kingdom of God. Marked by encounters with the God of impossibilities, his journey stands as living testimony that nothing is beyond the reach of redemption, restoration, or divine purpose.

As a best‑selling author and prophetic teacher, Dr. Welch communicates with a rare blend of biblical scholarship, prophetic discernment, and uncompromising clarity. His books and teachings cut through religious confusion and restore believers to the Gospel Jesus actually preached — the Gospel of the Kingdom.

His writings function as apostolic blueprints, awakening identity, exposing deception, and calling the Church back to its original mission. Readers don’t simply consume his work — they are commissioned by it.

As senior leader of Highway to Heaven Church, Dr. Welch pastors with the heart of a father and the fire of a prophet. His ministry is a place of healing, deliverance, and spiritual formation — a house where the broken are restored, the bold are trained, and the sound of Heaven is released.

He does not simply lead a congregation; he builds an altar where sons and daughters discover who they are and Whose they are.

A veteran himself, Dr. Welch carries a fierce burden for America’s warriors — especially those living on the streets, battling trauma, or forgotten by society. His ministry to veterans is not charity; it is honor restored. He stands in the gap with apostolic authority, declaring over them: “Your story is not over. Your destiny is still alive.”

Residing in Jacksonville, Florida with his beloved wife Emelie, Dr. Welch leads Remnant Warrior Ministries and Highway to Heaven Church — equipping believers to walk in identity, authority, and Kingdom assignment. His life is a convergence of revelation, strategy, and intercession, stewarding a movement designed for this prophetic hour.

Dr. Russell Welch is a man sent by God to restore foundations, confront deception, and release the sound of awakening across generations. His assignment is urgent. His message is clear. His legacy is being written in transformed lives and a Remnant rising with Kingdom fire.

Emelie “Millette” Welch carries a mantle of healing, prophetic intercession, and Kingdom compassion that has been evident since her earliest days in the Philippines. Raised in a Spirit‑filled home and marked by the presence of God from childhood, her life has been shaped by intimacy with Jesus, obedience to His voice, and a deep burden for the broken and forgotten.

After earning her degree in accounting, Emelie moved to Hong Kong, where she served for 13 years with an international missions organization. Her assignment extended far beyond administration — she ministered across borders, releasing healing, deliverance, and prophetic encouragement to the hurting and the hungry. Whether in worship, prayer, or personal ministry, she carried the fragrance of Heaven and the fire of restoration.

In her local church, Emelie served faithfully on the worship team and as a teacher, but her true calling emerged in the place of intercession. She discerned atmospheres, broke spiritual resistance, and carried a prophetic edge that brought breakthrough to individuals and regions. Her prayers shifted destinies. Her worship opened realms. Her compassion restored hope.

A divine encounter with students from the Brownsville Revival School of Ministry ignited a holy hunger in her spirit. Though the path seemed impossible, the Lord spoke: “I will not take you over the mountain — I will make a way through it.” In 2001, God fulfilled that word, bringing her to Pensacola for a season of deep refinement, prophetic training, and supernatural equipping.

During her second year at B.R.S.M., Emelie met Russell Welch — a fellow revival carrier and apostolic reformer. Their union in 2003 became a divine partnership marked by healing, prophetic worship, and Kingdom advancement. Together, they have ministered across regions, raising up warriors, restoring the broken, and releasing the sound of awakening.

Today, Emelie serves alongside her husband as a prophetic intercessor, healing minister, and spiritual mother within Remnant Warrior Ministries and Highway to Heaven Church. She carries a deep burden for the nations, a fierce love for the broken, and a healing anointing that restores hearts and identities. Her life is a testimony of what happens when obedience meets fire and when compassion is clothed in Kingdom authority.

Emelie “Millette” Welch is not simply a missionary or intercessor — she is a revivalist, a prophetic healer, and a daughter of the King whose life continues to release restoration, identity, and breakthrough wherever the Lord sends her.
