Galcom International’s Solar Audio Bibles & Cardinal Lacroix on Faith Revival

In this episode, associate editor Quinton Amundson and reporter Luke Mandato welcome special guest Tim Whitehead, executive director of Galcom International, who discusses his organization’s collaboration with the Missionary Aviation Fellowship and Rebuilders Radio to deliver thousands of solar-powered audio Bibles in the Democratic Republic of Congo with thousands more on the way before Christmas. Each device provides live Ebola prevention radio broadcasts and the word of God to those who need them most. Mandato shares more about the project and previews his upcoming article with insight from Missionary Aviation Fellowship pilot Dominic Villeneuve. Amundson then reports on his conversation with Cardinal Gerald Lacroix of the Archdiocese of Quebec. The Cardinal reflects on the surprising revival of Christianity he is witnessing, with young people, couples, and families filling pews in parishes once expected to close. He shares his vision for better accompanying families, supporting marriage preparation earlier, and providing ongoing mentorship for newlyweds, as the team discusses how the growth can continue around the country.
