  • Greg is not involved in radio broadcasting but says radios are the most effective tool for discipleship in the Quechua villages where he works
  • in a recent e-mail he wrote: “A common testimony from many hearers of the radio is that in places where there are no churches or where one would have to walk many miles to find another Christian family, the radio is their Pastor and Teacher. It goes with them where they go... Praise God for these ‘little red missionaries’ that stay behind to proclaim God’s love after we leave.”

  • In 1983, Russell was kidnapped by Marxist guerilla’s in Colombia. Upon his release 5 months later, he was convinced that Jesus Christ was the only one who could bring and end to decades of bloodshed. His life mission since then has been to share the Gospel message in that land and he finds radio to be the most effective way to get that message to the guerillas, the para- military, and the official government soldiers.
  • Russell has assembled a team of Christian radio broadcasters that operate a dozen AM, FM and SW radio stations throughout Colombia.
  • He has also distributed more than 80,000 Galcom Go-Ye radios many of which have been individually fastened to little parachutes and dropped into remote places
