ILT Meets in the USA

ILT Meets in the USA

GRN’s International Leadership Team met in San Diego, California in late April. Sadly, Joseph Ndiba had to Zoom in from Cameroon as his visa application was denied. It was a good time of team building as we got to know one another better and defined how GRN goes about telling the story of Jesus in every language. Encouragement came in hearing about God’s work in various parts of the world and the impact of our recent training for our Asian recording teams.

Various challenges were also discussed and brought before our Lord. It is a real comfort to know that this is God’s work and that He does know what he’s doing. Providing training for our recording teams in Africa and the Americas was a particular focus.

How can more people know about GRN recordings? How can we help people to understand when our resources are appropriate and how best to use them? How can we help our teams access the resources they need to tell the story of Jesus well in their local languages?

As is true of every organisation, we wonder how our work will be impacted by AI. We are investigating and considering how it might help and what traps it might hold.

We had the opportunity to present the work of GRN to adult Sunday School classes in our International Director’s church.

Many of the GRN USA team travelled for over 6 hours to join us from Arizona. We were thankful they made the effort.

It was a worthwhile time together. Good relationships are the basis of ministry. Please pray for the development of good relationships and high levels of trust amongst the team, and that we would faithfully lead GRN as we follow the Good Shepherd.

However, with the training complete it was then time to focus on the other reason we were there – recording. Using foam mattresses and thick blankets, the granny flat of a MAF house in Nhulanbuy was transformed into a make-shift studio. Each morning we would pray, then set up our gear and wait to see what the day would bring. Corrina Loenen (Pioneers) was responsible for rounding up all those who had previously expressed interest in working with us. Each day God would bring those whom he had chosen to speak a message, sing a song, read a Bible passage or share a testimony. The work was slow and unpredictable, but by faith we patiently endured and were blessed by the many stories that were shared.
