Halftime Alum’s Venture Featured in Nashville Business Journal
Halftime Fellows Program Alum, Micah Lacher, was recently noted in the Nashville Business Journal for his newest business-as-mission venture.
The Russell, a 23-room boutique hotel in East Nashville, was constructed in the former Cumberland Presbyterian Church, built in 1904. The first guests are scheduled to check in June 5. Micah Lacher, President of Anchor Investments, which developed The Russell, said the build-out represented a $7 million investment.
The Russell gives away a substantial portion of each nights stay to local homeless ministries. The average stay at The Russell provides 16 beds and warm meals at local homeless shelters. At The Russell, the slogan is Stay Here, Change Lives and they mean it. Not only will the guest’s lives be changed by an unmatched experience, they will be changing the lives of those less fortunate in the Nashville community.

As the Programs & Marketing Manager for the Halftime Institute, Alyssa Heffley combines her creativity, strategic top CliftonStrength, and desire to serve others in her day-to-day life.
A native Texan, Alyssa grew up in the DFW area. She left the Lone Star State to attend The University of Alabama (Roll Tide!), where she graduated Summa Cum Laude and earned the distinction of Outstanding Advertising & Public Relations Graduate.
Prior to joining the Halftime Team in January 2017, Alyssa gained varied experience in promotional, marketing, and communications roles – both in the for-profit and non-profit sectors. From creating corporate promotional campaigns, to strategizing volunteer mobilization at a Food Bank, to developing a child sponsorship program for a school in Uganda, Africa, every step has prepared her for serving Halftimers in her sweet spot.
When Alyssa isn’t dreaming up creative ways to help people with smoldering discontent (a key indicator – you’re in Halftime!) find and fulfill their Ephesians 2:10 Calling through Halftime, she can be found leading Young Adults in the Dallas area through Bible Study Fellowship International or looking for a fun spot to enjoy live music.
One of Alyssa’s many favorite verses is Ephesians 3:20-21, “To Him who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly beyond anything that we could ask, pray, or think, according to the power at work within us, to Him be the glory forever and ever.”
