The Recording Studio and Radio Ministry continue to be the hallmark of RCR ministry, taking its roots back to 1946. In addition to various programs and more than 700 sermons of Earl Poysti, we add new programs weekly.
The Gospel Behind Barbed Wire Prison Magazine is expanding its reach despite restrictions in Russia. This year 912 new people subscribed to it through the Russian Post catalog. Estimated 15,000-22,500 people are reached bi-monthly by this ministry alone.
The 'Pirkko Home - Liberation' Ministry has its blessings and difficulties and continues to be one of the most effective tools to reach people with the Gospel (about 350 a year). The results - new believers, new Christian families (we know of more than 50!), and new ministers!
