“While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and
summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.” Genesis 8:12 KJV
Saying ‘YES’ to Uganda, Haiti, and Bolivia.
Yes and Amen
“For no matter how many promises God
has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And
so through Him the “Amen” is spoken by
us to the glory of God.”
2 Corinthians 1:20
During a 2016 trip to Haiti, the team saw
the love they have for their impax!
Our God is faithful and He is able.
Whatever God says He is going to do,
He will do it and He is able to do it.
This is a truth that I rely on every day.
With that as my foundation I know
that next I need to ensure that I am
in the center of God’s will so that my
desires will be realized.
It may sound like I’m preaching,
but this is more self-talk for my
benefit than an article for our prayer
calendar. You see, we have a situation
at Galcom that is stretching my faith
and testing my ability to trust in God’s
ability and His faithfulness. It hits
me right at the core of my skeptical
personality - and my accountant
training.
Each year we have a general idea of
Volume 9, Issue 2
how much we raise and from there
we make promises to various pastors,
missionaries and ministries to help
them with their radio outreach.
Many are already operating schools,
orphanages or medical clinics, leading
churches or Bible schools, and radio
gives them the ability to multiply and
enhance what they are doing; but
they need help with the finances.
It has been our practice for several
years to offer our solar radios and
audio Bibles at 50% of the cost to It’s custom in Bolivia for the head

they could on their own. we made all of last year.
Since January 3rd we’ve received
Here is the dilemma: last year we additional requests of 2,000 for Haiti

already received requests for 26,000 want to say “YES” to anyone who asks
from our partners in South Sudan, for our help. Would you pray that
God would provide for us? We believe
we are heading into our greatest year
of ministry ever!
