Global Recordings Network creates, preserves, and distributes audio recordings of Bible stories in more than 6,500 languages. Together with our missionaries, ministry partners, and local bilingual speakers all around the world, we have been teaching the basics of the Gospel and introducing people to Jesus Christ since 1939.
Our global ministry was founded in 1939 in Los Angeles, California. The USA headquarters for Global Recordings Network is currently located in Tucson, Arizona. Today, our office prayerfully and financially supports the good work the international team is doing in dozens of locations all around the world.
The Power of Storytelling
Jesus’ most common form of teaching was storytelling, using parables and imagery from everyday life to communicate love and truth. Global Recordings Network seeks to honor and continue that tradition by delighting new audiences with stories recorded using authentic local voices.
More than two-thirds of the world’s population are oral communicators, who prefer to learn and communicate using oral rather than written methods. In many cases, these individuals cannot read or their community does not have a written language. This presents obvious challenges to accessing God’s Word.
Our passion is telling the oral story of Jesus to the people in these communities and others who might otherwise never encounter Christ.
