Get Real is a non-profit 501c3 mission organization offering ordinary people extraordinary opportunities to serve Christ and others. Get Real began in 2001 with a one-night public school rally which brought together over 5,000 people from all over Northeast Georgia. We were blown away! Since that night God has continued to amaze and overwhelm us by allowing us to be a part of what He is doing in the world.
The place where it all began: May 16, 2001. Banks County High School fields. What a night!
Get Real is a non-denominational, Christian organization reaching out locally, nationally, and internationally through missions training, short-term mission trips, discipleship opportunities, speaking and sharing in local church services, school assemblies, and other community events. We are funded solely by faith; we rely fully on the promises of God to meet our every need. He is faithful to fulfill His plans and purposes in our lives. Get Real is committed to carrying out the Great Commission which Jesus gave us in Mark 16:15 “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.” We are focused on sharing Christ’s love and message through building relationships with those we serve. We would love for you to join us on our journey of following Christ…
WHAT IS OUR MISSION? Our mission is to live fulfill Christ’s command to “love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and love your neighbor as yourself” (Luke 10:27) We recognize that as followers of Christ we are called to love and serve as He did. Everything we do is focused on first loving and bringing honor to God and then loving and serving others. As James says “Do not merely listen to the word and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says” (James 1:22) TO GO into all the world and share the love and message of Christ. “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations” Matthew 28:18 TO MEET NEEDS “ For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat,I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you came to visit me. (V.40) The King will reply, "Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me." Matthew 25:35-40 TO ENCOURAGE each other and build meaningful relationships. We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well. You had become so dear to us.
