Inside Tracks - December 2006

From the beginning, technology has been an integral part of GRN's existence.

From open reel tape recorders and hand wind gramophone players to digital recorders and playback devices, we harness technology for the Gospel.

As technology changes, so must we. It is not just a matter of using the latest gizmos; we adopt and develop technologies that serve the purpose of mission. We consider cost, the technical capabilities of recordists and customers, and our ability to provide technical support.

There are still millions waiting to HEAR the good news. Read on to find out how it is happening!

'Faith comes by hearing.'

From a missionary to a GRN office in West Africa

"Seven years ago, I took a Gospel message tape from your office to give to a Muslim man. He came to the Lord and is now a pastor. Just recently I gave some more tapes to Muslim neighbours and friends. Four of them have come to the Lord. Praise God!"

Can you help?

If you are looking for a way to use your technical skills or interests in mission, please talk to us. We can use professional or 'hobby' sound engineers, electronics technicians and IT specialists in various disciplines (web, video, hardware, software, networking).
