Every eight seconds, somewhere in the world, another person indicates a decision to follow Christ after watching the "JESUS" film. Every eight seconds... that's 10,800 people per day, 324,000 per month and more than 3.8 million per year! How can any single film reach so many people and touch so many lives? It is the power of the Word of God in their heart language. View a daily updated list of "JESUS" Film versions and translations. Global Recordings Global Recordings Network (GRN) is a leading provider of Christian evangelistic and discipleship audio visual materials to the least reached language groups of the world. GRN's passion is to work where there are no translated Scriptures and no viable local church, or where a written Scripture or portion is available but where there are few if any who can read it or make sense of it. Audio visual materials are a particularly powerful evangelism medium as they communicate the gospel in story format suitable for oral learners. GRN recordings can be downloaded free of charge from their website, and distributed via CD's, email, Bluetooth and other media. Most of GRN's over 6,000 recordings can be downloaded for free from their website for you to distribute to your friends. Or you can listen right on the website.
