Vision and History
OUR VISION is to take the Gospel both to our nearby world and to the ends of the earth, proclaiming Christ and warning and teaching every man with all wisdom, in order that we may present every person fully mature in Christ Jesus. (See Colossians 1:28.)
In the early 1990s, after the collapse of the former USSR, Rick and Denise Renner established the first Christian television network in that region of the world. Today we broadcast programming for Rick Renner, John Bevere, Bayless Conley, Kenneth Copeland, David Jeremiah, Joyce Meyer, Charles Stanley, Perry Stone, Andrew Wommack, and many others.
The first Russian language Christian television channel began with a cable broadcast in Kazakhstan in 1999 under the name CNL. Later in 2002, it went international with satellite coverage that reached across all the former Soviet Republics. In 2021, this popular channel rebranded its name to GNC — Good News Channel — and came under the leadership of Rick Renner Ministries. Today GNC broadcasts on two satellites, many cable stations, and multiple apps.
Throughout the years, more than 2,000,000 Christian books from various ministries have been printed and distributed for free to nations in dire need, and later when the world began moving to social media, we started reaching people there as well. Today we oversee over 20 social-media accounts for ministries that enjoy tremendous daily engagement. Our work is dedicated to bringing the Gospel of peace to the nations of the world for whom Christ died.
