COLOMBIA Galcom International sent 8000 green, dual fixed frequency
shortwave radios to South America as part of the Colombia For Christ
project last year. So far in 2006 1000 radios have been shipped and
another 4000 are in production. Many people are aware of the danger that
missionaries in Colombia face on a daily basis. In November, a story
really brought it to life. Four missionaries on a peace mission to
distribute Bibles and radios in a 70 foot boat on the Guavaire river were
taken hostage by guerillas and their boat was seized. They were held for
49 days in an area where one of the worst battles in the history of
Colombia`s internal conflict was taking place.

As we are in the midst of deploying thousands of Galcom solar radios tuned

transmitters on the air. Something is wrong with the electricity arriving
