GRM Tools for the Kingdom

Preaching the Gospel is great! However, if you don't have tools to reach the needs of the people, it's often difficult to touch their hearts.

Over the years, we have found that people will not open up their hearts until their physical needs are met. Listed below are some of the tools we use to affect the nations for Christ:

1. Mobile Medical Units and Disaster Relief Even though mobile medical units have certain limitations, it has proved to be one of the most effective ways of breaking the ice in places where people look at outsiders with suspicion. When medical camps are done systematically and consistently, even enemies become your friends. It is a fantastic system which takes medical aid to people who are not in a position to go to hospitals. Mobile medical units give legitimacy to genuine missionary work and help neutralize hostile elements opposed to the Gospel. Usually after medical camps our missionaries are treated with dignity and respect by the community. This is one of the most effective tools that any Christian missionary organization should have in its arsenal.

2. Water Wells Polluted water is the major cause of sickness, disease, and death in remote villages. These villages simply cannot afford to hire well drilling engineers from the city. Gospel Revival Ministries is meeting this desperate need and the spiritual needs of these people as well–giving clean, fresh water and the Water of Life–Jesus! Water well projects touch lives of villagers so deeply that hundreds come to Christ immediately when the well is commissioned. These are remarkable evangelistic tools to remote tribes who have never heard the Gospel. Two wells placed in Nigerian villages have resulted in the entire village being won to Christ!

3. Building Projects We currently have church building projects in various regions of India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Ghana, Sudan, Niger, Chad and proposed projects for the remote tribal areas where primitive tribes are being reached. We are praying for funding for church reconstruction in several persecuted villages in India where Hindu extremists have destroyed churches and homes. In Africa we are constructing churches in several strategic Muslim areas. These are key projects in our attempt to bring the light of the Gospel to the last of the lost. We are planting church buildings in some of the most unreached regions known to Christianity today. These churches and believers truly shine as a beacon of light in great darkness! We also build mini votech centers for tribals where people are taught to be self sustaining.

4. Libraries and Bible Distribution Though our primary focus is amongst “hidden peoples” we set up our stations in city areas for planning, internet use, and networking. The libraries provide precious spiritual nourishment to hungry native pastors and evangelists, and serve as a magnet to draw pastors from surrounding states and nations. Libraries in third world countries are a vital tool for the Christian minority and provide a way for Christians and native pastors to access Bibles and teaching materials that they could never afford to purchase on their own. Our libraries also serve as a center for networking among native pastors and Christians, and as a prayer center for those who meet there. Even used books and Bibles are gladly accepted by the natives.

5. Crusades and Leadership Meetings Crusades and Pastor's Conferences are a powerful way to impact entire nations and break down demonic strongholds. Our New Millennium Crusade in Nagaland resulted in 6,000 first time decisions for Christ and more than 11,000 recommitments to Christ and a small mission movement! As we minister in third world nations, we also meet many important leaders, and encourage the faith of Christian believers. Pastors need to be taught how to reach unreached peoples and many of our meetings have inspired leaders to go where the gospel has never been preached.
