Dr. Trull is Professor of Bible and Missiology. He received his Ph.D. from Trinity Evangelical Divinity, M.Th. from Harding University Graduate School of Religion, and a B.S. and B.A., degrees from Harding University.
He joined the Faulkner University faculty in 1995 and he directs the missions program.  He also serves as an elder at the Fort Deposit Church of Christ. Before coming to Faulkner, he and his wife were missionaries in Meru, Kenya for over ten years.  They worked among the Meru tribe on the northeast slope of Mt. Kenya.  The tribe numbered about one million in size. They and one other family founded the work in Meru in 1984.  Their ministry was a church planting ministry which required them to learn the local tribal language to share the gospel message in the heart language of the Meru people.  During the ten years on the mission field they were blessed to see thirty-two congregations planted that continue to this day with new congregations also being started by the Kenyan churches.  There are currently forty-five congregations among the Meru and Maasai that border them. They also direct a Bible and vocational training center, Meru School of Theology (MST), in the central town where Christians are able to receive more formal education.  MST offers Bible courses year around for Christians and church leaders, The vocational training assists people in developing more skills for earning a living.  More information is available at merumission.org.
