26 Tue Finance Department
Ralph Loper requests prayer for more staff
and volunteers to aid in accounting; please
pray for God's provision for workers in
this vital department. The Finance office
not only receives and processes financial
support, but also maintains relationships with
so many who pray and give to GRN.
27 Wed 6,400 Languages Available
GRN has over 6,400 languages in its audio library—
most are available online. Pray that these evangelistic
recordings will be played across the globe as more
people become aware of their availability through the
GRN website and the 5fish app.
28 Thu Roland Heck
Pray for Roland who is in San Jose, California,
assisting his son in a job search and working
on his mother's house. He is meeting
with churches and other groups to
share with them the ministry of audio
recordings as tools to reach out to immigrants
and refugees in their areas.
29 Fri Our Resources
Cell phones have reached the poorest areas of the world.
Most are equipped with micro SD cards which hold many
recordings. This technology is one of the easiest ways to
bring the story of Christ into closed countries or to share
with those without Internet access. Pray for widespread
distribution of these tools, and funds to purchase them.
30 Sat Tisdale Family
Please remember Dan as he continues to
recover from car accident injuries
suffered in April. Pray for their son
Daniel starting college in California,
and for the rest of the family who will
be spending time in Alaska before returning
to Thailand.
Dear Friends,
My wife Valerie and I are slowly reading through the Old Testament together, and recently this last verse from Numbers 7 really struck me between the eyes:
And when Moses went into the tent of meeting to speak with the Lord, he heard the voice speaking to him from above the mercy seat that was on the ark of the testimony, from between the two cherubim; and it spoke to him. [ESV]
What must it have been like for Moses, a mere man, to hear directly from God in such a tangible way? We know that previously when Moses had spent time in God's presence his face shone in front of the people, simply because he was reflecting the glory of the Creator God, after spending time with him on the mountain.
In 2 Chronicles 16 we read the story of King Asa, who at one time had relied on the Lord, only to have turned from that godly reliance to earthly reliance on the king of Syria. God reminded Asa:
For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless toward him. [ESV]
In prayer we have the awesome ability to come, without blame, before the presence of the God of the universe, to give praise and to make requests, to reflect his godliness and goodness, and rely on him. Let's do that together in prayer this month as we pray for the mission of God.
Peace of Christ,
Dale RickardsEXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

1 Fri Ramadan Continues
GRN is praying with millions of Christians from around the
globe as a worldwide movement of prayer focuses on the
Muslim world during Ramadan. This important month for
Muslims continues through June 14. Join with us praying for
Muslims to be born again during this time when many of
them are more aware of spiritual matters.
2 Sat Media Focused on Muslims
Praise God that the number of ministries using various
media directed towards Muslims has exploded. The amount
of literature, Bibles, CDs, DVDs, and downloadable
resources (including GRN content) has increased greatly.
Pray for many Muslims to turn to Christ as a result of
hearing the gospel through many forms.
3 Sun GRN Ministries in Muslim Countries
Pray for GRN ministries to be fruitful in countries where
Islam is a dominant influence including Pakistan, Indonesia,
Bangladesh, Tanzania, Kenya, Nigeria, and most of Western
and Northern Africa. Pray for grace, protection and courage
for those in hostile climates to be able to carry out
ministries that result in Muslims coming to Christ.

4 Mon Asu of Nigeria
The Asu people is a small Islamic group without any
Christian resources. It can be so easy to overlook groups
such as this. Pray for a team from GRN Nigeria to find an
opportunity to record their language and that the people
would soon receive the seeds of the gospel.
5 Tue Staff Vacations
As several of the USA staff take vacations this summer
pray for safety in travel, for renewal and refreshing for
each one, and for God's blessing on their time away. Pray
for Geneva, Greg, Blaise, Irene, and others spending time
out of the office.

Pray for a new influx of regular volunteers to assist with
extra projects and daily tasks around the Temecula office.
We especially need volunteers for the reception desk and
to do data entry for the Language Tracking department.

work evaluating incoming recordings from the field. Pray
for wisdom for Noel in prioritizing and handling his tasks.
8 Fri Home Assignment
GRN field staff in Vanuatu, David and Gail
Rogne, have returned to the USA for home
assignment. Pray this will be a time of
renewal, refreshment, and inspiration as
they share their field testimonies from
the last four years.
9 Sat A New Generation of GRN Leaders
Pray for the next generation of GRN leaders—men and
women full of the Holy Spirit and with a passion to make
Jesus known among least-reached peoples. They must
faithfully carry out the GRN vision in complete dependence
on God to allow him to perform his wonderful works
through GRN.
10 Sun New Player Available
Pray for the ministry of a new player that the
USA office is making available for distribution.
The Omega solar player is preprogrammed with
messages designed for refugees, but can be
programmed with any of our material. We
currently have 100 in stock available for ministry.
11 Mon Publications
Pray for the ministry of our publications. As the GRN Magazine
goes out and as people pray through this prayer guide, may the
chorus of prayer ascend with might, bringing God's answers for
those still without the good news in their language.
12 Tue International Script Committee
The scripts are the heart of our recordings. Pray
for the committee who oversees
development and approval of each script.
Pray for Elizabeth Chan, GRN USA, as she joins
the team as co-chair of the committee.
13 Wed Praise
"Soar up above the smog and noise and distress about you into
the clear blue of God's heaven through the wings of PRAISE."
Joy Ridderhoff -- The Lord lives! Praise to my Rock! May the God
of my salvation be exalted! Psalm 18:46 NLT
14 Thu Yaaku of Kenya
The Yaaku people live along the coastal strip of Kenya. The GRN
Kenya team is trying to locate good Yaaku speakers to begin a
recording project. Pray for success and ask the Lord to use the
gospel stories to impact lives for eternity.
15 Fri Benin and Togo Languages
The GRN Cameroon team asks prayer for the promotion of GRN
materials in Arufo, Bisa, Fufulde, Gnaga, and Moba. These
languages are spoken in Benin and Togo. The Cameroon team
wants to see widespread usage of these recordings so Christ
can be honored by more peoples as they surrender to him.
16 Sat Twelve Madagascar Translations
GRN South Africa has arranged for several teams to work in
Madagascar on program translations in 12 languages. Progress
is very slow. Ask the Lord to give each team accuracy and grace
to persevere so they can soon move on to the recording phase.
17 Sun Saber 2
GRN Australia technicians are designing a circuit board for the
new Saber2 mp3 player. Pray for a durable and usable machine
which will enable people living in remote areas to hear the good
news of Jesus in their first language.
18 Mon Board Governance
Vital to the success of GRN are national boards that have a clear
understanding of their role in helping each center fulfill their
GRN goals. Pray that each board member would be prayerful,
actively involved, and full of integrity.
19 Tue Board Follow-up
Thank the Lord for a devoted Board of Directors for the
USA office. Last month's meeting was productive and
helpful in determining some future moves. Pray for follow-
up required to implement the vision.

We want website visitors and customers to have
uninterrupted access to GRN's resources. Ask God to give
GRN technicians in Australia and the USA necessary skills
and wisdom to maintain continuous operation of our
server infrastructure.
21 Thu Online Store
Pray for the development of an online store for
the USA web site. Blaise VanderLinden,
Operations Manager, is working on the
initial content and ideas for the store.
Pray for the IT department's part in
programming and establishing all that's
needed for effective implementation.
22 Fri Office Reorganization
Pray for us as we relocate and consolidate some of our
office space here in Temecula. Pray for safety as heavy
and sensitive equipment is moved from downstairs to
upstairs. Pray for patience and understanding during
transition times while people's desks, and computers,
get rearranged.
23 Sat Summer Trip
Pray for Larry DeVilbiss and a USA staff member as their
survey/recording trip to a country in Eastern Europe grows
closer. They will look for opportunities to bring the gospel
to a language group with no known believers, and to
establish contact with other priority languages in the area.
24 Sun Praying Scripture
Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make
the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be
gracious and attractive so that you will have the right
response for everyone. Col. 4:5-6 NLT May this be true of
every GRN worker.
25 Mon Summer Intern Program
Please pray as we seek to develop an effective internship
program whereby we can encourage college and career
age workers to experience world missions through service
to GRN, and possibly see some led by God to join GRN USA
long term.
