Flynn, a non-denominational missionary, formerly of Cleveland, Ohio poses with Andrew Milligrock, 12-year-old Eskimo boy from the U.S. owned Little Diomede Island next door to Russia. Flynn told newsmen today he has been making frequent trips into Russian territory from the island "to spread the word of God."

Flynn says he plans to stay on the island.
