Sharing The Gospel At The Ends Of The Earth
By GREGORY RUMMO
THE RECORD OF HACKENSACK, AUG 30, 2001
The Christian's greatest responsibility is to be a witness for Jesus Christ by living an exemplary life and by sharing the Gospel with others. That duty begins at home with family, friends, and neighbors. But it should not end there. We have a responsibility to share the Good News with the whole world. I recently had the chance to be among believers helping fulfill this commandment. I went with 30 other men and women, most of us ``Gringos'' from the United States, on a weeklong trek to distribute Bibles to the Quechua living in the valleys throughout the Andes Mountains in the Ancash region of Peru.

Despite Economic Prosperity, The Homeless Are Still Among Us
By GREGORY J. RUMMO
THE N.Y. DAILY NEWS, DEC 25, 2000
It’s Winter in New York City.  Frosty winds blow like gales through the canyons of steel, concrete and glass. Thoughts of the holidays and good cheer meander through the minds of most folks as they hustle through the crowded sidewalks, rushing to buy a last minute Christmas present. The economy has flourished for a decade and most new Yorkers’ wallets are bulging. But there is a segment of society that has failed to take part in this economic recovery. These are the homeless. This column was written about WABC Radio talk-show host Sean Hannity and his live interview with a homeless man named Cody. It also included a few words about my involvement with the men and women at The Bowery Mission. Go to article

Helping Indians Of Amazon Change For Better
By GREGORY J. RUMMO
THE RECORD OF HACKENSACK, NOV 16, 2000
Anthropologists make their living studying primitive peoples and their culture.  They are supposed to follow an unwritten law similar to "The Prime Directive," made famous by the television series, "Star Trek," which forbade interfering with the subject civilization in any way that would artificially accelerate its development or markedly change its culture. But a recently published book, "The Darkness In El Dorado," raises serious charges against a group of anthropologists who studied the Yanomami Indians in the Amazon Rain Forest of Brazil and Venezuela during the 1960s. Go to article

Preaching And Painting South Of The Border
By GREGORY J. RUMMO
THE DAILY RECORD, AUG 6, 2000
In July 2000, Mexico was in the headlines of virtually every major American newspaper. In a stunning upset victory, Vincente Fox was elected president, ending seventy-one years of rule by Mexico’s Industrial Revolutionary Party (PRI). I traveled to Mexico three weeks after that election, but I didn’t travel there to study politics.  My mission, along with 24 other people was simpler yet much more profound.  Only God knows the extent of its impact on some pretty down-to-earth folks.

Bringing Hope to the Hopeless in the Hidden Valleys of the Andes
By GREGORY J. RUMMO
THE DAILY RECORD, AUG 8,1999
In July 1999, I hiked through the Peruvian Andes with 25 guys from the States.  We carried over 7,000 Bibles on burros to various, remote Quechua pueblos, hiking at altitudes ranging from 10,000 to 15,500 feet. We crossed the continental divide through a pass on a mountain called Talliraju and walked into the valleys beyond to small villages with names like Colcabamba and Yanama.
