About us

GRN est l’un des principaux fournisseurs de matériel audiovisuel chrétien destiné à l’évangélisation et à la formation de disciples.

Nous apportons l’Évangile aux groupes linguistiques les moins touchés du monde, en établissant des ponts grâce aux mots et aux images.

Depuis la création de GRN International en 1939, nous avons produit des enregistrements dans environ 6 500 langues. Cela représente plus d’une langue par semaine !

Our Vision

That people might hear and understand God’s Word in their heart language – especially those who are oral communicators and those who do not have Scriptures in a form they can access.

The Unreached

We have been commanded to make disciples of all nations and all peoples (Matthew 28:18-20). There are still many out there who have no access to the Gospel.



Heart Language

People respond best when they hear the Gospel in their own heart language. This is the language with which they feel the most comfortable and confident. 



Orality

80% of all people are oral preference learners, which means they prefer to learn by hearing, rather than reading. 

Our Mission

In partnership with the church, to effectively communicate the Good News of Jesus Christ by means of culturally appropriate audio and audiovisual materials in every language.

Our Roots

It all started with Joy …

Missionary Joy Ridderhof served faithfully in Honduras for many years. Forced to return home in 1937 due to illness, Joy’s burden to share the Gospel stayed with her – and she began producing recordings to continue to spread the Gospel from afar.

So began ‘Gospel Recordings’.

In 1953, when they arrived in Australia, Joy met Stuart Mill and inspired him with her idea for a hand-wound gramophone. Stuart developed the Austrophone, capable of playing 7 minute records.

Mission work was revolutionised!

Since setting up in the UK in 1955, the technology we use has changed quite significantly, moving from flexible discs to casettes, and now to MP3 players and mobile apps. 

But our message and the mission have never changed. Joy’s obedience to God’s call – to reach every nation, tribe and tongue with the Good News of Jesus – has brought light and blessing to the world.

Now we can record Bible messages in many tongues, so people can hear the Gospel in their own heart language.
