GRN's resources on short term missions

Dave Hughes - Wednesday 21 October 2015

One of the greatest uses for GRN's resources in my opinion is the short term mission.

GRN's resources enable short term mission participants to immediately share the Gospel in culturally appropriate ways even when they don't speak a word of the language.

Their value was illustrated to me while visiting a physio. During the treatment the physio asked me where I worked, and when I mentioned Global Recordings Network, he told me a story of having used GRN's resources while on a short term medical mission in southern Asia.

During his breaks he would go out and play GRN's recordings to the locals in their heart language.

The physio was particularly excited on this day, as he had recently received a letter from a lady who had responded to the Gospel during his visit.

Since that time she had continued with the faith that began that day in her. She had been to Bible college, and the letter was sharing that she was now in the process of starting a church.

What a privilege for my physio to be a part of what God has done in the life of this lady, her family and her community.

And thank God for the way he used GRN's resources on this short term mission and so many others.
