Lynn Doty

Board Member

Lynn is a successful real estate broker and was introduced to Russian ministry when she met a young Russian lady who spoke at her (then) church in Florida. Lynn felt compelled to go to the Caucasus region of Russia where she and others have been a part of leadership training to young college students. She has subsequently travelled to Russia 11 times while serving in this ministry. Lynn was instrumental in the introduction of this type of training, which is now a part of RCR’s rehab center leadership training.

Grady McWhorter

Board Member

Grady joined the RCR Board in 2017, after going on two church mission trips to Russia to assist the ministry at RCR's Pirkko Homes, meeting the RCR leadership here and in Russia, and seeing people served by the Pirkko Homes. He has worked in engineering and management positions, and feels it has become clearer to him about how to use this leadership talent and experience to help younger generations to live Christ-like lives, and to be willing to go where God leads.

Andrey Pinkevich

Board Member

Andrey lives in the Chicago area and has been a supporter of RCR for a number of years. He sees his invitation to the Board as God's calling him to be more involved in this ministry. He is bi-lingual and has been a member of both Russian and English-speaking churches.

Alexander Zakharov

Board Member, and Executive Director of the RCR ministry in Russia

Alexander joined the RCR ministry as Earl and John Poysti were finding the first staff members for the new office in Moscow in 1992. His pastor was Sergey Yakimenkov, the first Executive Director of the Moscow office. He was a new believer at that time and learned much from these three men. He started out working in the studio, and is now the Executive Director of the RCR ministry in Russia, and the pastor of his church. Since RCR in the US and RCR in Russia work very closely together, it is important to us to have Alexander on our Board here to share his insights.
