Will the Son of Man find faith on earth?
FEBC has been broadcasting outreach, discipleship and compassionate radio and media programmes since 1945. Today, around 2/3 of the earth’s population are within listening range of our stations, in their own heart language. We believe that all people deserve the opportunity to hear that there is a good and beautiful life for them with God. And to that end we communicate the good news among the nations by media, inspiring people to follow Jesus Christ.
In Jesus’ parable of the unjust judge in Luke 18, he finishes his call to prayer and perseverance with the question: “When the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
To all listeners, Christian and non Christian, we broadcast the encouraging promise of Jesus – Don’t lose heart. Turn to Jesus in faith. It is worth it. From Ukraine to Indonesia, across Asia and Africa our programmes on FM, AM and every digital platform, are designed to inspire faith in Jesus Christ.
Prayer points:
Ukraine
Our station staff are delivering encouragement and inspiration day after day. Special programmes for soldiers, women, young adults and children. For listeners suffering fear and anxiety, isolation and grief of all sorts. Pray no more stations are overrun in the East. Pray for those who are deeply questioning life and the brokenness of this world, to find our broadcasts on air and online. To make contact with our stations and be introduced to a local church community. Pray for “Embrace” our special programme for women whose husbands, brothers and sons are away at war. May they find refuge and rescue in Christ. Pray for an end to the war.
Thailand
Please pray for our daily programmes across the entire country in more than 30 cities and towns. New Zealand sponsors special broadcasts in the South in the language of the Muslim population (of 6 million+). Pray the Holy Spirit draws many new listeners to the unprecedented promises of salvation by grace. Churches are few and far between, but most people have easy access to FM broadcasts. It is a private and safe way to hear the gospel. Prayer for listeners to enquire with us for free bible resources, and then we can refer them to the nearest church.
China
Please pray for great wisdom for our station leadership as they navigate complex and changing laws around religion, communications, and young people’s access to information. New Zealand sponsors a Bible College by Media that trains thousands of lay people across the nation to reach out and to disciple their communities. A huge number of churches (including 2nd, 3rd, and 4th generation churches) owe their foundations and teaching to FEBC broadcasts. Radio and online media can be a pastor to the pastors, and a teacher to the teachers such in a huge and challenging environment. Praise God for Chinese courage and perseverance under pressure.
Malawi & Mozambique
Please pray for these very challenged African nations. Poverty and religious persecution (from extremists like Boko Haram) makes life very difficult for many. Yao Muslim people are turning to the Lord thanks to special programmes in their languages. Praise God that testimonies of Muslims becoming Christians have not elicited serious backlash. Even several Imams (Muslim leaders) have turned to Jesus and led others with them. Pray for thousands of Listener Clubs across these two nations. Clubs are organised gatherings around our broadcasts, to sing and dance, and listen! We supply community leaders with a solar radio that is fixed to our station. They gather people and promote the programmes.
