From the Australian CEO's desk

Christine Platt - Friday 22 August 2014

I have now been serving full time at GRN for 2 years, I'll have been CEO for 2 years in about a month. Our Annual General Meeting is my anniversary in the role. It has been full on since I started with a steep learning curve. Looking back I can see a wide array of challenges and problems, lots of people, lots of stories, and amazing answers to prayer. I have no doubt that God is at work and that He answers prayer.

I have heard of prisoners in Uganda hearing the Good News via GRN recordings every week and of a church started in Cambodia as a grandmother played GRN recordings over and over again. I had the privilege of playing our recordings to Brahman caste Nepalis in remote villages and seeing their hunger for God's word first hand. We pray here in the office and are blessed to see His answers so often.

Revelation chapter five talks about Jesus being slain and by His blood ransoming people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation. GRN plays a part in enabling people who have no Bible, whose language might not even be written down, to hear the story of Jesus in their own heart language. I find it exciting to know that I will be worshipping God forever with people who came to know Jesus through GRN recordings and that I play a part in reaching out to the end of the earth with the Good News.

What part are you playing in reaching out to your neighbours and to the end of the earth? We here at GRN are asking the Lord of the harvest to send more workers into the fields..... pray, give and do!
