Rick Renner is a highly respected leader and teacher within the global Christian community. Rick first fell in love with the Greek New Testament when studying Journalism and Classical Greek as a university student. With more than 25 books published to date, Rick has become known for his scholarly approach to the Greek language while he breaks down its components in such a way that the average reader can comprehend and absorb the depth of meaning it contains.
After ministering widely throughout the United States for many years, Rick and his wife Denise answered God's call in 1991 to move their family to the former Soviet Union and plunge into the heart of its newly emerging Church. Today Rick's television broadcast "Good News with Rick Renner" can be seen across the entire former USSR. He has also distributed hundreds of thousands of teaching audio and videotapes, and his best-selling books have been translated into Russian, Polish, French, and German. In addition to pastoring two fast-growing congregations — the Moscow Good News Church in Russia and the Kiev Good News Church in Ukraine — Rick is the founder of the Good News Association of Pastors and Churches, through which he assists and strengthens more than 800 churches throughout the former Soviet Union and Israel.
