Staffing Changes

Thank you, Holly Young!

Holly Young faithfully, professionally, and enthusiastically served Gramazin from 2023 through August of 2025. Her engagement with Gramazin began when she designed the cover and chapter sketches of Charles' book, The Two Souls of Heidi Lonsberry. Holly quickly moved into book marketing and then into the role of Marketing Director of Gramazin. Her involvement in so many different aspects of our ministry led her to the title of Operations Manager. Quite frankly, our radio ministry prospered because of the connections Holly made with influencers across America.
 

The Lord has called Holly to a staff position ministering to young people in His name. Our loss is her new employer's gain. We will forever be grateful for the impact Holly has had on Gramazin.
 

Yet, we move on. The role of Operations Manager is now in the very capable hands of Rae Bargo. Rae has been an amazing and treasured servant of the Lord at Gramazin over the past two years. She is passionate about the Gramazin mission and knowledgeable in so many areas. She is currently the co-host on Charles Wagner's radio show, The Gramazin Testimony Report. Rae continues the commitment to excellence in the role of Operations Manager that Holly Young established.

Did you know that there are now 767 testimonies in our Testimony Center?
