Our Beliefs
GRN has adopted the Statement of Faith of the World Evangelical Alliance. In this way we identify ourselves with an organization which is known and respected in evangelical circles worldwide, and represents evangelical groups from virtually every country.
We believe in:
The Holy Scriptures as originally given by God, divinely inspired, infallible, entirely trustworthy; and the supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
One God, eternally existent in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit
Our Lord Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh, His virgin birth, His sinless human life, His divine miracles, His vicarious and atoning death, His bodily resurrection, His ascension, His mediatorial work, and his personal return in power and glory.
The Salvation of lost and sinful man through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ by faith apart from works, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the believer is enabled to live a holy life, to witness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Unity of the Spirit of all true believers, the Church, the Body of Christ.
The Resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
Our Core Values
At GRN, all that we stand for and all that we do is built on immovable truths found in God’s Word.
1. The necessity of the Gospel
Without the Good News of the Lord Jesus Christ, people are eternally separated from God. The Gospel is the power of God for the Salvation of everyone who believes (Rom 1:16). And, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Rom 10:13). Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12).
2. Dependence on God
Faith in God and dependence on Him has been built into the fabric of the mission since its foundation. This is demonstrated in our commitment to prayer as the primary strategy for every aspect of our mission. Every other strategy must follow prayer and be consistent with the values of the Kingdom of God. We do not shy away from the great challenge of our vision. With God, all things are possible.
3. The value of hearing the message
“Faith comes from hearing the message” (Rom 10:17). For those who do not, cannot or will not read, hearing may be the only way they can receive the word of God. Even for many who do read, hearing the message, communicated in culturally appropriate ways, under the power of the Holy Spirit, can have a profound impact. Recordings are one effective way of enabling people to hear the message.
4. Concern for small people groups
No people or language group will be ruled out of GRN’s strategy simply because of its size. If research indicates that recordings are needed for a people group to hear the Gospel, with God’s help, GRN will work to meet that need.
5. An attitude of thankful praise
We take to heart the Scriptural injunctions to be joyful always and give thanks in all circumstances
(1 Thess. 5:16-18). It is our desire to reflect the joy of the Lord, even under difficult circumstances.
