"Galcom International" is a non-profit organization partnering with ministries around the world to distribute communication equipment to the unreached people groups around the world.

In August 1989 Canadian Allan McGuirl, Harold Kent from the USA and Ken Crowell from Israel, set aside a time and place where they could get together to share their inspired vision for a new missions minded ministry combining the gifts and talents each could offer. With the technical, gadgetry mind of Allan, the knowledgeable know how of Ken and the means to make it happen from Harold, Galcom International was conceived and the Go-Ye Solar Powered Fix Tuned Radio was born!

How did they come up with the name Galcom International? The name 'GAL' is Hebrew from Psalm 37:5 meaning 'commitment'...the last part 'COM' is abbreviated from the word 'communication'. Of course 'INTERNATIONAL' meaning worldwide, this is the vision of reach!

The PURPOSE is to reach the unreached through Christian radio. The MISSION is to provide durable technical equipment for communicating the Gospel message worldwide. The STRATEGY is to partner with mission minded organizations to facilitate the MISSION through technology.

Together with the help of many mission minded organizations and individuals, Galcom International has distributed more than 800,000 solar powered, fixed tuned radios into over 125 countries and have installed more than 90 Christian radio stations worldwide!
