Dmitry Gusev– Rehab Ministry Coordinator

Our God is an amazing God who works extraordinary miracles in the lives of ordinary people.

Dima Gusev is one of those examples, whose life is a living testimony of God’s miraculous restoration of that which had been hopelessly and mercilessly destroyed.

Prison Magazine: "The Gospel Behind Barbed Wire"

With the Lord’s blessing and your faithful support, RCR continues spreading the Gospel through the magazine, The Gospel Behind Barbed Wire. Many letters we receive are from prisoners or prison ministers, or sometimes from others who have come across our unique magazine. Some are looking for answers to their deepest questions and some share their stories of coming to God or how the magazine has been a help to them. See what others say about the magazine...

Reporter #3, 2025

- Pirkko Home Ministry – New Project in Berezovo, Peter Pitsurenko, (Tula Region): The Plavsk Pirkko Home is going through a period of active change. We prayed for a long time about purchasing the neighboring property with an abandoned brick building, the village’s former town hall office building. Last spring, the owner unexpectedly agreed to sell the building for 500,000 rubles (or about $6,000).

- News from the Two Pirkko Homes in the Bryansk Region.

- RCR Studio, The Gospel Behind Barbed Wire Magazine, and the Media Forum. Dear friends, everything that happens through our media ministry is the fruit of God’s grace and your faithful prayers and support!

- Prison Ministry – Life Transformation Stories, Novosibirsk - Prison Minister Alexander Gochweiss, Primorsky Krai (Far East), brother Vitaly K.

- Mikhail Alekseyev, Testimony: I am incredibly grateful to Jesus Christ for freeing people from the bondage of sin!

Frontline- Prayer Letter

Pirkko Home Liberation Center Ministry, Dima Gusev: Lately, we have been looking for new permanent jobs for the men, as they learn to live on their own. The Lord blessed us; we managed to get them jobs at a factory. The work is very hard. A big prayer need is to rent an apartment for our four new graduates.

RCR Studio Ministry, Ayur Vanzhilov: Greetings everyone! We thank God for giving us the opportunity to work for His glory last year!

In 2025, 117 different RCR video programs and 37 new “shorts” videos were released on the YouTube channel.

The Gospel Behind Barbed Wire Prison Magazine Ministry, Eduard Zavedeyev: In 2026, by God's grace, we continue to publish and distribute the magazine in prisons in Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and the USA, as well as in the small country of Abkhazia, on the Black Sea.
