AllHELIOS content was researched, written and produced by Dr. Woodrow Krollas part of theWoodrow Kroll Ministries. Currently this content is being translated and produced in these ten languages:
WOODROW KROLL lives in Titusville, Florida, USA. The former President and Senior Bible Teacher of the international radio program Back to the Bible retired in 2013, but was only retired 4-5 days when God moved him to start The Psalm 119 Association Inc. (doing ministry as Woodrow Kroll Ministries) and initiate the HELIOS Projects.
From his study in the Heartland of America, Dr. Kroll has created all the content for each of the HELIOS Projects and has been the “voice” in English for those projects.
This is a sample of the HELIOS CT Project in English:
Marc Blackwell and Family
MARC BLACKWELL, JR is a church planter in the area of Cape Town, SOUTH AFRICA. Marc is from an American missionary family who have given their lives to the people of South Africa. The church Woodrow Kroll grew up in as a child supported Marc’s parents on the field, and now Marc. Marc’s business sense and coordinating skills make him the perfect country coordinator for the HELIOS Afrikaans Projects in South Africa.
Ludwig Gresseau and Family
LUDWIG GRESSEAU is from Port-au-Prince, HAITI. Ludwig is a linguist and the country coordinator for Operation Mobilization (OM) in Haiti. He speaks six different languages. His knowledge of Haiti and the Haitian people, along with his unique linguistic abilities, will serve the HELIOS Creole Projects well. We are happy to have an OM leader working with our HELIOS Projects in Haiti.
Hindi Team
Hindi. The Hindustan Bible Institute (HBI) in Chennai, INDIA has agreed to help us with the translation and recording of our HELIOS Projects into Hindi. With the growth of the church in India, this will be a very important language in which to have the HELIOS Projects available.
Mandarin Team
MANDARIN. The HELIOS Mandarin Project is at the top of our list with regard to importance. The reason? While there are 527 million native English speakers in our world, there are 1.39 billion native Chinese speakers. We have not provided the picture or names of our Mandarin translator or our Mandarin “voice” for security reasons. We ask your prayers for them as their task is particularly difficult.

Leandro Tarrataca and Family
LEANDRO TARATACCA is from Sao Paulo, BRAZIL. Leandro has had a Bible-teaching radio and TV ministry throughout Brazil for many years. He heard of the HELIOS Projects from others and emailed Woodrow Kroll to ask when it might be ready in Portuguese. Dr. Kroll’s response: “As soon as you can get it done.” Leandro holds a PhD in Christian Education and was named the Alumnus of the Year by his alma mater, Calvary University of Kansas City, Missouri in the USA.

Vladimir Lebedev and Family
VLADIMIR LEBEDEV is from Khabarovsk, RUSSIA but currently lives near Chicago, Illinois in the US and is working on his PhD degree at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. Vladimir and Woodrow Kroll have a mutual friend – Dwayne King, a pioneer missionary-pilot in Far Eastern Russia. Dwayne and Dr. Kroll were ministering at the same event in October, 2014 and when he heard about HELIOS, Dwayne said, “Russian pastors need HELIOS right now.” Dr. Kroll explained that he needed a Russian translator and voice first to which Dwayne said, “I have just the guy.” The rest, as they say, is history.

Pablo Logacho and Family
PABLO LOGACHO lives in Quito, ECUADOR and is both the coordinator of our HELIOS Spanish Projects and the “voice” for the Projects. Pablo’s translation and recording of HELIOS CT in Spanish was the first international language beyond English to complete this major project to train untrained pastors and Christian leaders. In addition to his work on HELIOS, Pablo also serves the Bible-teaching Spanish radio program La Biblia Dice.
