A Voice for the High Andes
A complete solar-powered FM station for a Quechua-speaking region of the Peruvian Andes, run by a local church network.
A Christian audio ministry since 1989
Millions have never heard the Gospel in their own language. Radio reaches them.
Galcom places solar-powered radios, audio Bibles, and local radio stations with ministry partners in the world's hardest-to-reach places — so that hearing God's Word doesn't depend on literacy, electricity, or the internet.
The need
For much of the world, the Good News has to be heard.
Hundreds of millions of people live in oral cultures, can't read, or belong to communities with no church, no Scripture in their language, and no reliable electricity or internet. A printed Bible can't reach them. A website can't reach them.
A durable radio can. It works off-grid, costs little, gathers whole families and villages, and keeps speaking day after day in the language of the listener's heart.
How Galcom works
Technology in the hands of local ministry
We don't parachute in. Every radio, player, and station serves a local partner's long-term ministry.

A story from the field
Light in the Camp
The family fled with what they could carry. In the camp, a partner ministry gave them blankets, a stove — and, when the father asked quietly about the Book he'd heard of but never been permitted to read, a solar audio player with Scripture in his own language.
