We want so much for our eyes to be opened to any opportunity that is there for sharing the message of Christ to the Thai people. We also want a deeper love for them like we've never had before...God's love for them.Media Gallery

As many of you know, my friend A.C. Donahue and I recently returned from Sudan. While we were there, our team had an opportunity to visit a new IDP (Internally Displaced People's) camp that has settled in Loka (Home of GRN Sudan). The situation is critical! These people were displaced by the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). The LRA had raided their village repeatedly in 2008. During these raids, they abducted eleven people (two were found dead, three escaped, and six children remain missing).
These people have nothing. They are boiling leaves and eating them as their main source of food. Malnutrition is setting in, and the planting season has just begun, with little hope for making it till the harvest. Disease and infection are common. Rainy season has just begun, which means the mosquito population will increase and malaria will take it's toll. Water is also a major concern. Loka already had too few wells and adding this many people to these vulnerable wells is making the water situation very unstable.The need is great!
My son John and I will be returning May 5th to take much needed aid (Blankets, nutritional supplements, secondhand clothes, mosquito nets, medicine, hopefully a water well, and food items) to this camp.
Please watch this video and if God puts it on your heart to help, then please do. You can do so by clicking on the "Partner With GRN" tab above, or you can send a check to GRN with "IDP Camp Sudan" written in the memo. EVERY PENNY will go to help bring aid to these hurting people.
- Soccer Field Restored at the LSSS
-
One of the things that happened on the trip into Sudan was the restoration of the Loka Senior Secondary School's (LSSS) soccer field. The field had been torn up by the de-mining team that had come back to remove any other mines that may have still been undiscovered. You may recall that last year in the Fall, an anti-tank land mine blew up, killing one man and critically injuring two others.
Take a look at the following video that shows some of the work that went into fixing the field for the students. One of the teachers at the school referred to the restoration as a miracle. The people in Loka do not have much, and something as simple as a soccer field restored can help to bring life and hope to the school and community. Enjoy!

2,000 years ago, a good God came to save bad men and women. This good God left His glorious home in heaven, to die for sinners. And today, this good God not only continues to love bad men but He makes as His very dwelling place people like you and us, bad men and women. The holy, marvelous, all-powerful, uncreated God of the universe lives in jars of clay like us... it's a mystery. Tom shares about this wonderful mystery in this week's episode of *lifeonline. Have a great week!

Happy New Year from the entire GRN Team!
With the New Year typically comes New Year's resolutions. Probably one of the most popular resolutions to make (and unfortunately break) is getting in shape and improving our physical fitness.
This week, Tom Zurowski has special friend and professional performing strongman, Mike "The Machine" Bruce, on the broadcast. Mike consistently keeps his temple (body) in great physical condition and regularly shares his story of a troubled youth turned for good and performs incredible feats of strength as he ministers to crowds.
Enjoy the following broadcast and be inspired to keep your New Year's resolutions, no matter what they are!
Have a wonderful week!

Thank you for joining us this week as we take a trip down memory lane and open up the vault of GRN's past *lifeonline episodes. It was about one year ago today that we first broadcasted the video you are about to see. A lot can change in a year. Hopefully, each of us have areas in our life where there has been improvement, including loving God and people more like Jesus.
There is one thing that never changes, that being the law of love. It is God's love that we all long for so much, and have the opportunity to share with the world around us. It is love that we all need. Not love as the world tries to give it, but God's love. This week, be encouraged to simply... love. Love like Jesus. Please find inspiration in your walk with God and people as we re-broadcast this timeless lesson on love.
Have a great week and a Happy Thanksgiving!!

It doesn’t matter if public opinion embraces a certain concept or if the majority of believers accept a certain standard. If that concept or standard is contrary to the will of God, it must be questioned, challenged, or rejected. …Fellow soldiers, holy servants of the risen Lord, blood bought disciples of the Master, heed the call. It’s now or never; it’s time to put up or shut up. Either we take a stand once and for all, or forever hang our heads in shame. History is awaiting our move. So on with it! Let’s start a revolution!

(Matthew Henry) - Keeping it simple
-
It was a beautiful Sunday morning in 1989. I stepped out of the car and headed throught the doors of the fireman's recreation hall in Albion, NewYork. My heart was racing, my palms were sweaty and anxiety was at an all time high. This was the morning that I was to speak publically for the first time. I had practiced preaching my message to myself about twenty times that morning. I thought it sounded good at home, but I was so nervouse that I was sure I would vomit as soon as I stood behind the pulpit. I sat and shook while the announcements were being read, I remember God speaking to my heart "Just keep it simple."

(Dr. Michael L. Brown - Compassion
-
When God shares His burden with us.
There have been many times in my life as a Christian that I have encountered someone hurting, poverty stricken, diseased, or abandoned and have been moved with compassion. With tears I have sought God to help me deal with the sorrow that I have felt on behalf of another struggling, less fortunate soul. It has only been recently our Lord has given me a glimpse of understanding into the mystery of compassion.

When two churches meet
There is a lot of talk these days about our methods of presenting the message of Jesus. I've never been one for following the latest fads, and in regards to the gospel, I don't think I will start now. Our methods are one thing, but the message is another. I'm not against dramas, special songs, or Power Point presentations, but I strongly disagree if any of these things trivialize or soften the cross of Jesus.

Read more...“It is only before the throne of grace that we become endued with holy fire; but he who waits there long and believingly will imbibe that fire, and come forth from his communion with God, bearing the tokens of where he has been. For the individual believer, and above all, for the laborer in the Lord’s vineyard, the only way to gain spiritual power is by secret waiting at the throne of God for the baptism.”

The critical need of the church at this moment is men . . . We languish for men who feel themselves expendable in the warfare of the soul because they have already died to the allurements of this world. Yes, if evangelical Christianity is to stay alive, it must have men again – the right kind of men. It must repudiate the weaklings who dare not speak out, and it must seek in prayer and much humility the coming again of men of the stuff of which prophets and martyrs are made.”

- Remorse Or Repentance
-
“No man has truly repented until his sin has wounded him, until the wound has broken him and defeated him and taken all of the fight and self-assurance out of him and he sees himself as the one who nailed his Savior to the tree.”
(A, W. Tozer)
Read more...“Never mistake remorse for repentance; remorse simply puts a man in hell while he is on earth, it carries no remedial quality with it at all, nothing that betters a man. . . Repentance is not a reaction, remorse is. Remorse is – I will never do the thing again (but it is only a temporary emotion without any power to change). Repentance is that I deliberately become the opposite of what I have been. . .the disposition of the Son of God can only enter my life by the road to repentance”.
