National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) was established to protect Christian broadcasters' rights and interests. One thousand four hundred organizations and stations from around the world meet annually, exchange new broadcasting technologies and programs, and share vision for their ministries.

From February 26 to March 2, the NRB Convention and Exposition 2018 was held in Nashville, Tennessee in the U.S. which is a festival for Christian broadcasters from around the world. GCN participated in the convention to extend its broadcasting ministry. As a gospel-oriented TV station, GCN has produced differentiated programs based on the word of life and powerful works and has transmitted them to more than 170 countries.

On February 26, GCN attended Great Commission Reception and continued fellowship and building relationships with Dr. Michael D. Little, Principal Representative to Israel, The Christian Broadcasting Network, Inc.; Dr. Stan Jeter, Chair of NRB International Committee; Dr. Frank Wright, the former president of NRB; and Dr. Arnold Enns, President of COICOM.
