Thank you for your continued support financially and in prayer. We are so grateful for
your partnership in our Wycliffe ministry.
Replacing Antenna
Ray was in Cochabamba, Bolivia, in March to help replace
a shortwave antenna at Radio Mosoj Chaski (New Messenger). This is a shortwave station that broadcasts in Quechua during the night and early morning hours to all the rural
areas in Bolivia. Our partner mission Galcom has provided
50,000 fixed, tuned receivers for those areas.
Ray also spent some days in Santa Cruz renewing contact with families who were mentored while we were living there in 1999-2007.
Pray for the timing of this trip (possibly in mid- July) and for safety in travel and security.

Recently, he coordinated a lightning protection project
live via WhatsApp to a remote FM station in Northern
Bolivia. They broadcast the gospel in Spanish, Portuguese,
and a local indigenous language.
The next project is to install two Solid State shortwave
transmitters in central Colombia to replace the old obsolete,
heavy power-consuming transmitters that are currently off
the air. These will broadcast in Spanish and several of the
indigenous languages in eastern Colombia.
Pray for the timing of this trip (possibly in mid- July) and for safety in travel and security.
We have received requests for help in repairing and planning new stations from other missions. We want to be available to all in spreading God’s Word to indigenous groups in their
own language. Pray for us as we consider how best we can meet the needs of these others.
