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...
