Are you wanting to serve the Lord?
We look for the following in both home and field candidates: you are a committed follower of Jesus Christ with a regular devotional life grounded in closeness to Him. You belong to a Bible-believing local church and share the Lord and His Good News whenever possible. You are teachable, with a servant heart and a strong sense of the Lord’s calling to the ministry of Global Recordings Network. Might that be you?
Field workers go, find and verify every language that does not have the Story of Jesus and record that story, and “capture that language” in a set of Bible-based stories. The mission commits to provide equipment, training, and travel expenses. As a field worker you must trust God to provide bread and butter and everything else desired.
Home-based workers support the field work in a variety of ways. You may come to Tucson or you may work from your current home, but you would also need to be committed to the vision of GRN: Telling the Story of Jesus in Every Language!
The work done by this ministry is a team project and includes a wide variety of assignments, some less glamorous than others, but all equally important! Abilities, health and a sense of God’s calling are seriously considered when assignments are made. Each worker must be willing to put the priorities of the Mission ahead of one’s own personal ambitions. The following list shows the various aspects of work involved:

Positions may be filled by those who apply to join us as career missionaries, associate missionaries, volunteers, or interns. Career missionaries and interns trust God for their finances for living, whether you raise personal support by sharing your story with friends and churches, or you look to the Lord alone without asking others for support. Those who do not need extra income may apply as associate staff or volunteers.
