About GRN

The Vision of GRN

In union with our Lord Jesus Christ and in partnership with His Church, GRN seeks to effectively communicate the gospel of Jesus Christ, through audio recordings, to all peoples in their own language.

GRN has made recordings in nearly 6000 languages and dialects since the work began. Research indicates there are over 10,000 vernacular languages spoken in the world today. Most of these don't have the written scriptures. GRN is committed to provide the good news for those tribes and tongues still without the gospel.

Priorities

Our priority is to provide evangelism and discipleship messages for oral communicators and unreached people groups that have no other means of hearing the good news in their own language.

Partnerships

GRN is part of the great workforce of Christians whom God is using to build His Church. We believe that the combined assignment of the worldwide Church is to make disciples of all nations. GRN's specific calling is to make audio evangelism tools available to Christian workers to help multiply their church planting efforts. Often these materials are the first Christian resources on the scene in an unevangelized environment.
