Great is THY faithfulness One of the things I antcipated doing, as my position at Galcom changed from Executive Assistant to Developement Coordinator, was travelling to tell people about the Galcom ministry. Generally people are surprised we are such a small organization, knowing what great work the Lord is doing through us. They know we produce thousands of radios and audio Bibles in a year, which then gets them thinking “Oh, they must have a large factory!” “They certainly have an ample supply so I can stop by and pick one up!” Truth is, we have 10 full-time staff and 2 part-time (4 are fully supported missionaries). The staff here work on the adminstration side of things. Our dedicated, faithful volunteers put in hours and hours of work each week. The Lord sends these wonderful servants to do the preparing, building, testing and packing of every single radio made. We could never financially afford to pay for the labour they provide! We do not have a store front. We make the units as they are ordered and funds have come in for large or small orders. Two other major compontants of Galcom are prayer and fundraising/ giving. Each morning, the very first thing our staff and volunteers do is have a time of devotion and prayer. We commit the day and each other to Him. We often receive prayer requests from partners like you, and we commit those to prayer as well! YOUR prayers for the many projects throughout the year have filled so many needs, and we had another record-breaking year of giving! In the last few newsletters we shared stories of a few partners and asked you to help us bless them. We were able to send, or are preparing to send, 500 Impax to each of them. Paraguay, Moldova, South Sudan, Philippines...that is thousands hearing the WORD because of YOU! The two pictures here are from Belize. In October we had Clive Welsh share at our banquet.

Great is THY faithfulnessOne of the things I antcipated doing, as my position at Galcom changed from Executive Assistant to Developement Coordinator, was travelling to tell people about the Galcom ministry.
Generally people are surprised we are such a small organization, knowing what great work the Lord is doing through us.
They know we produce thousands of radios and audio Bibles in a year, which then gets them thinking “Oh, they must have a large factory!” “They certainly have an ample supply so I can stop by and pick one up!”
Truth is, we have 10 full-time staff and 2 part-time (4 are fully supported missionaries). The staff
here work on the adminstration side of things. Our dedicated, faithful volunteers put in hours and hours of work each week. The Lord sends these wonderful servants to do the preparing, building, testing and packing of every single radio made. We could never financially afford to pay for the labour they provide!
We do not have a store front. We make the units as they are ordered and funds have come in for large or small orders.
Two other major compontants of Galcom are prayer and fundraising/giving.
Each morning, the very first thing our staff and volunteers do is have a time of devotion and prayer. We commit the day and each other to Him. We often receive prayer requests from partners like you, and we commit those to prayer as well!
YOUR prayers for the many projects throughout the year have filled so many needs, and we had another record-breaking year of giving!
In the last few newsletters we shared stories of a few partners and asked you to help us bless them. We were able to send, or are preparing to send, 500 Impax to
each of them. Paraguay, Moldova, South Sudan, Philippines...that is thousands hearing the WORD because of YOU!
The two pictures here are from Belize. In October we had Clive Welsh share at our banquet. Your generosity helped with the repair of the antenna, as well as providing 500 radios to distribute. The picture above is Jose, a night watchman who works from 6pm-6am. He is so thankful to be listening to Lighthouse Radio all night!
So a BIG thanks to each of you! Jennifer Sheldrick Development Coordinator

Welcome to Production!Throughout the prayer calendar this quarter, we have mentioned many of the jobs required to assemble
radios in our production department. Here is a closer look!
“Spending of funds is confined to programs and projects approved by the organization. Each restricted contribution designated toward such an approved program or project will be used as designated with the understanding that when the need for such a program or project has been met or cannot be completed for any reason determined by the organization, the remaining restricted contributions will be used where needed most. Gifts are acknowledged and receipted with an official receipt for income tax purposes.”
