The Gospel Behind
Barbed Wire People Write

We receive many letters in RCR's Moscow Office in response to our prison magazine, The Gospel Behind Barbed Wire. Most are from prisoners and prison ministers, and sometimes they are from others who have come across our unique magazine. Some are looking for answers to their deepest questions, some share their stories of turning to God, or how the magazine has been a help to them. We would like to share some of these letters with you.

Prison Magazine Ministry

With the Lord’s blessing and your faithful support, RCR's Prison Ministry continues to spread the Gospel through the magazine, The Gospel Behind Barbed Wire.

Considering the need in prisons, we would like to be able to increase the number of magazines we can print; our last increase was in 2017, from 6500 to 7500 copies of each issue, printing 6 issues per year. We praise God for that! Since the publishing of the magazine is funded 100% by freewill donations, we can only increase the number of copies as God provides. We believe that God will provide and fulfill the needs of His ministry, and our faith is based on multiple blessings and miracles we have seen.

As our faith and desire to help are encouraged by the letters received from prisons, we would like to encourage you too, by sharing just a few of these letter excerpts with you:

Baptism in prisons

Maxim Nasennikov, Krasnodar region, Dvubratsky:

"We wish to share with you a great joy; for the first time in four years there was a baptism service in our colony! For a long period of time the brothers were praying for the baptism, in order to testify to the world that they had devoted their lives to serving Christ. And on November 13, 2013, the Lord answered the prayers of those who love Him, through His ministers - brothers from Kurganinsk, Temryuk, and Krasnodar - who visited our colony. They organized a worship service with music, which filled our hearts with praise to the Lord. On this day, the Church of Christ increased by three revived souls!"

Victor Gogin, Ukraine, Khmelnitsky region., Izyaslav city, life sentenced in ZIK-58:

"Thank you for the two magazines of The Gospel Behind Barbed Wire that I have received from you. I am 65 years old and a prisoner for life. I've been a Christian since 2006, but I have not been baptized. Who from the ministers of God can help me? Please respond."
