What HCJB Global does

HCJB Global, legally registered in Brazil as HCJB A Voz dos Andes, is an interdenominational Christian non-profit media organization headquartered at R. Frederico Maurer, 2801, Hauer, Curitiba, Paraná (CNPJ 77.170.454/0001-35). It was originally founded on December 25, 1931, in Quito, Ecuador, and began Portuguese-language operations in Brazil in 1964 under Victor and Helena Arndt. The organization employs between 1 and 10 people and is governed by a mission-driven, donor-supported operating model with no external equity, parent company, or venture funding.

The organization's core product is the Cartão do Céu (Sky Card), a free 64GB micro SD card distributed through churches, missionaries, and community partners, containing 600+ hours of Christian audio and video content including audio Bible (NTLH), films (Jesus, Tetelestai series), Bible studies, devotionals, and 20+ original HCJB radio programs plus 15+ content titles from partner organizations. The Card is produced in four variants: standard Portuguese, Sertanejo (Northeastern Brazilian dialect), Libras (Brazilian Sign Language) for the deaf community, and Español (Hispanic). Distribution extends through partner radio stations across Brazil (AM, FM, web radio, community radio), digital streaming on SoundCloud, Spotify, YouTube Music, and Deezer (YouTube channel @hcjbavozdosandes: 500+ videos, 10K+ subscribers, 1M+ views), and downloadable links via pCloud.

The organization is funded exclusively by voluntary financial contributions and donations from supporters, collaborators, intercessors, and donors, with giving options spanning monthly contributions, special offerings, project sponsorship, and PIX transfers. It maintains an 11+ partner content ecosystem with organizations including Sociedade Bíblica do Brasil, Bible Project, Cru Brasil, Luz em Ação, Bíblia TPS, Mãos que Declaram, Rede 3.16, Maranatha Mission, ICM, Missão do Céu, and HCJB Ecuador. End-users are missionaries, churches, and individuals in remote and underserved regions of Brazil (and Spanish speakers globally) with limited access to the Gospel, churches, internet connectivity, and reading materials.

Emerging players

• Hallow: Hallow is a prayer and audio Bible app providing guided meditation, devotionals, and Bible content. Comparable to HCJB's devotional and Bible audio offerings, but oriented to mobile/digital rather than radio and offline micro SD distribution.
• Pray.com: Pray.com is a digital faith platform offering audio devotionals, sleep content, and Bible content via mobile apps. Comparable to HCJB's devotional and Bible audio programming, though distributed purely via digital streaming rather than radio or offline.
• YouVersion (Bible.com): YouVersion is the digital Bible platform of Life.Church offering free Bible translations, audio Bibles, and devotional plans across mobile. Comparable to HCJB's audio Bible and devotional distribution, though YouVersion is mobile-first and does not address offline micro SD distribution.

Direct peers

• Moody Radio: Moody Radio is a long-established Christian broadcasting network producing devotional, Bible teaching, and family programming distributed via AM/FM radio, streaming, and podcasts. Highly comparable to HCJB's portfolio of devotional, study, and family programs across broadcast and digital channels.
• Trans World Radio (TWR): Trans World Radio is a faith-based international broadcasting organization that distributes Christian content across radio, digital, and partner networks. It is directly comparable to HCJB's combination of multi-platform religious broadcasting and partnership-driven content syndication.
• Far East Broadcasting Company (FEBC): FEBC is a Christian media mission that distributes Bible-based audio content via radio and digital channels to underserved regions. Comparable to HCJB's outreach model targeting remote, low-access populations with multi-language religious programming.
• Gospel for Asia (GFA): GFA is a mission organization producing and distributing Christian media content including radio programming, films, and literature to remote and underserved regions. Comparable to HCJB's offline-first distribution model and faith-based media partnerships.

Broad incumbents

• CBN (Christian Broadcasting Network): CBN is a large, established Christian media organization operating television, radio, and digital platforms. It is a broader incumbent compared to HCJB's narrower focus on Portuguese-language radio, offline distribution, and ministry partnerships.

Others

• Bible Project: Bible Project is a content partner of HCJB that produces animated, thematic Bible overview videos and podcasts distributed free online. It is an ecosystem participant and adjacent content creator rather than a direct broadcaster, but produces some of the same Bible-themed media consumed by HCJB audiences.
• Sociedade Bíblica do Brasil (SBB): SBB is the Brazilian Bible Society and a core content supplier to HCJB, providing Bible in Audio (NTLH) and Bible text included on the Cartão do Céu. As a supplier/upstream content partner, it operates in the same religious content ecosystem but is not a direct broadcaster peer.
