24.01.2022 18 | Fri | LRI (GRN) BANGLADESH Give thanks that our families in Bangladesh are well. Life and ministry in Bangladesh has been very limited during lock-down. The team have been using the time to develop their storytelling skills locally. Please pray for them to take advantage of opportunities as they arise, and to be patient and careful regarding the pandemic. https://globalrecordings.net/en/grnbangladeshhistory

24.01.2022 Hybrid board meeting. Half the board are in the room and half are online. It's important to keep our governance in order.

24.01.2022 Getting ready for ReachOut NW!

24.01.2022 There's more than meets the eye with GRN picture flipcharts. They contain many years of research into what makes an effective picture. For example, thick black lines help the audience identify the various people and objects in the picture. Because of this research, the pictures are able to help people engage with GRN's audio-Bible resources. #throwbackthursday #globalrecordings #pictures #flipcharts #thearchives #reachingtheunreached #missions

23.01.2022 GRN will be attending the online ReachOut Missions Conference happening today. If you're attending ReachOut, why not connect with GRN online during the Agency Connect times? We'd love to help you think about how you could be a part of God's global mission.

23.01.2022 The results are in - GRN came 7th in the 20-49 employees division for the 2020 NSW Biketober Challenge! Give thanks for fun and health benefits to the many GRN staff that participated in Biketober.

23.01.2022 ReachOut Lite is underway!

23.01.2022 14 | Sun | CHURCH ENGAGEMENT Please pray for opportunities for GRN to share with churches about its ministry and resources in this new year, especially since Covid-19 significantly reduced GRN's ability to engage with churches during 2020.

22.01.2022 20 | Sun | FRANZ BROSCH Praise God that I have been able to continue my work on the 5fish app unhindered during the Covid crisis.

22.01.2022 Vida McLellan (1923-2020) was married to Dick for 65 years and had four children while serving in Ethiopia. She was a nurse and midwife who provided medical care to many in very difficult conditions. Seeing women neglected, she started a ministry to women, teaching them the Bible. She had the joy of seeing many ladies come to faith. Vida used the GRN records while she treated patients at the clinic, on the road and in the villages. Vida served with GRN for 23 years while Dick was GRN National Director. She served in the office, helping send records, cassettes, players and picture books all over the world. They were very hospitable, often inviting people into their home for Ethiopian meals and games.

21.01.2022 Editing of audio recordings was not as simple as now. Back then, GRN recordists had to splice the tape of the recorded audio. This was a task that required careful attention to ensure the correct audio remained on the tape. #throwbackthursday #globalrecordings #editing #thearchives #reachingtheunreached #missions

19.01.2022 25 | Wed | RECORDIST TRAINING COURSE Pray for God's timing of a proposed recordist training course in the Northern Territory.

18.01.2022 Seasons greetings from GRN Australia! We wish you and your family a Merry Christmas!

16.01.2022 17 | Thu | FROM PAKISTAN In February this year, we visited different Christian colonies and shared the Word of God. People were blessed. They are very keen to grow in discipleship and missions. One believer said, I have come to a new level of understanding that I am called to be a channel of blessing to the local people. https://globalrecordings.net/en/pk

15.01.2022 For 80 years God has lead many volunteers and staff members to serve with GRN.

14.01.2022 How can you replicate a professional recording studio? Use mattresses - which can help absorb sound and give better sound acoustics. Please pray for GRN recordists to be wise so that they can obtain the best sound acoustic possible to record high quality audio Bible resources. #recording #soundacoustics #globalrecordings #reachingtheunreached

14.01.2022 21 | Mon | KENNY & JOAN MCKEE (GRN-UK) Pray for Kenny and Joan as they continue to send out GRN materials. Some of their recording work is still on hold due to the pandemic. https://globalrecordings.net/en/uk

10.01.2022 What was in that very first record which Joy Ridderhof made? This excerpt from "Capturing Voices" by Phyllis Thompson narrates the record that started Global Recordings Network: "She made her plans. Play some background music fo the type of the people of Honduras liked, read selected Bible verses interspersed with a few explanatory comments, perhaps a little singing ..." #throwbackthursday #globalrecordings #records #joyridderhof #honduras #thebeginning #reachingtheunreached

09.01.2022 Stuart Mill and his wife Molly organised a recording opportunity for Joy Ridderhof and her teammates during their visit to Australia. This recording inspired Stuart, who would found GRN Australia, to become involved in the mission. As he recounts: "Molly and I had a lot to talk about during the next few days. What we had both seen and experienced the night we helped record the first gospel message in Taobaita, radically affected us both. In some ways, we seemed to be at a cro...ssroads. My earlier leaning towards a business career at home was now being shaken ... We began to realise that it was God who had brought Gospel Recordings to us" ("Lost for Words" - Stuart Mill with Dan Wooding) #throwbackthursday #globalrecordings #taobaita #australia #reachingtheunreached #missions

09.01.2022 9 | Wed | RESISTANCE TO THE GOSPEL One of our teams in Asia is seeking to reach a very resistant people group. They are in the process of training local Christians who are neighbours of this tribe, so they can reach out to these people and follow them up. Pray for our team as they embark on this very indirect method to reach them. Pray too for recording opportunities to emerge as they continue this work.

09.01.2022 23 | Wed | FROM SOUTH AFRICA Dalene Joubert gives thanks that GRN recordings and picture books have been delivered to trained evangelists amongst the remote Luvale people living on the Lungwebungu River in Zambia.

03.01.2022 For many years, there has been animosity between people groups in South Sudan. Bishop Jeremiah* lost his parents, three brothers, and several cousins due to the... tribal conflict. At the end of 2018, Great Commission Media Ministries launched a campaign (which integrated MegaVoice audio devices) in an effort to foster reconciliation between tribal groups. . "If we do not forgive others for their sake, then we must do it for our own sake...," Bishop Jeremiah said after receiving GCMM's materials. "Bitterness does not kill your enemy, but it will kill you... I wrestled with this truth for a long time. Finally, I let go and forgave those who had so deeply hurt me. . A powerful reminder on the Intl. Day of Peace. . . *Photos and names have been altered to protect identities. See more
