Russian Christian Radio

God is doing great things in Russia. One of the many wonderful ministries going on all over this country is Russian Christian Radio. During the 1990's, Russian Christian Radio broadcast programs over the state-run radio networks, but that opportunity ended later that decade. Many people listened to the various programs and RCR received many letters in response, especially from those who live behind bars. Even though the distribution of radio programs ended over the state network, it has continued in other ways, with a special focus toward providing radio programming to prisons in Russia. This includes distribution of sermons and other programs in MP3 format, as well as via satellite. Also Russian Christian Radio, together with many other Christian missions and churches in Russia, has organized prison ministries and outreach. They have also created a network of seven Christian Centers for those prisoners who have been released back into society after serving their time behind bars. RCR has and excellent high quality magazine called "The Gospel Behind Barbed Wire" it is a magazine that is published once every two months and sent to prisoners all across Russia, Ukraine and countries of the former Soviet Union, as well as Germany and even in the United States and is available both in Russian and German.(text taken from web site) See web site Russian Christian Radio

If you will look at the blog for April the 29 “Farm life for the soul” you will find a story on my first visit to one of the 7 Russian Christian Radio Rehabilitation centers. This past week I was invited to go along with Mark, Alexey, Dima and Nodick on a road trip to visit one of the centers and to re-visit Nikoolino, the village of the Farm. There a satellite was installed to receive the Russian Christian Radio programming for the men. I believe we as a fellowship have a great opportunity to be involved with the work of RCR, as they are reaching out to those that can easily be overlooked by society.
