Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. Psalm 37:5 KJV

Prayer Calendar -September 2014- Volume 6, Issue 4

If not me and you, then who?! “The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.” Isaiah 40:3

Before Jesus began His earthly ministry, John the Baptist went before Him preaching the good news that the Messiah was coming to bring salvation. Great as John was, he was careful to humble himself to the point of declaring that he was not even worthy to undo Christ’s sandal strap (Matt 3:11). What a great example to us, to go about sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with such fervor and singularity of purpose and to do it so humbly and self sacrificially. As we celebrate our 25th anniversary this year we want to focus not on what we have done but on the person and work of Jesus Christ. Like John we have been called to ‘prepare the way of the Lord’, not in a physical sense but in a spiritual sense. We do this by giving tools to missionaries and

message of Christ, preparing hearts and minds to accept Jesus as their saviour.

In June we shipped our 1,000,000th radio and we had a great time of celebration, but now requests for more radios and audio Bibles have been pouring in and we cannot keep up with the demand.

Would you join us at Galcom and our ministry partners around the world in this task of preparing the way? Would you consider making a special anniversary gift to Galcom so we can meet the need?

With you in Christ’s service,

pastors around the world allowing them the ability to reach more people in a day than John would have reached in his lifetime. Through radio there is a straight path for the message of Christ to get to millions

who have received Galcom solar, fix-tuned radios. We believe that there is power in that message to transform lives.

Throughout our prayer calendar this quarter we have highlighted just a few of our ministry partners around the world, highlighting some of the testimonies and prayer needs of their ministry teams as well as the people they serve. Like John they have given themselves wholly to preaching the

First version of our solar powered, fix-tuned radio, the Go-Ye...listening in Romania.
