Driven by a desire to address the challenges faced by missionaries, Gregg, alongside his wife Tara and others, founded the nonprofit Global Outreach Developments International (GOD Intl) 25 years ago.

Tara, Gregg's wife, plays a crucial role in GOD Intl’s efforts, particularly in maternal health education, influencing the Institute's curriculum. The Garners, blessed with five children, reside in Nashville, where their commitment to missions, education, and community development continues to make a lasting impact.
