About Gospel Revival Ministries

Gospel Revival Ministries (GRM) has been equipping native leaders since 1979. GRM is a Christian missions agency embracing the Lausanne Covenant. It was a pioneer in the native missionary movement, long before it gained popularity in the U.S.From Mexico to Northern Nigeria and into the Sudan, Niger, and Chad, to the high mountains of Northeast India in Nagaland, strategic bases have been established, equipping vast networks of native leaders. GRM is a strong proponent of the Peoples Movement, empowering native leaders to reach the last of the lost ethne in obedience to the Great Commission Matthew 28:19,20.One of the most cherished aspects of GRM is its ministry to set free prisoners from the brickmaker prisons of Pakistan, serving life sentences despite never committing a crime. Alongside this, the Teresa Sewing Centers in Pakistan offer hope and purpose to many.Currently, India and Pakistan are primary focuses of GRM. In India, we are working with some of the oldest tribes known in the missions world. GRM also works with a vast network of native leaders in Pakistan also working with several unreached peoples.To our great and wonderful God be all the glory and praise, and our deepest thanks to God’s people—our collaborators—for making it all possible. John & Teresa Musser
