Tuesday - 1

Thank God for Makara, who joined FEBCambodia's team last December as programming director. Besides developing program content, Makara also plans to create a new 'sound' for the station. He says, "We try to select topics that will help society, but we don't want our listeners just to gain knowledge. Our main goal is for their lives to be changed and for them to know the one true God." Pray for wisdom and creativity for Makara as he seeks to move forward in programming.

Wednesday - 2

FEBCambodia's Family FM recently began airing Heart and Mind, a new program that explores mental and emotional health problems. The host, Chandra, is concerned about the huge number of people still suffering from the effects of genocide and war: "This program is a gateway to let people know that we acknowledge they have these issues. Pray that God will provide a group of Christian workers interested in volunteering to be lay biblical counselors." Also pray that many people will tune in and learn about God's healing love.

Thursday - 3

"The Lord used your radio station to touch my life, and to change me. Now I have chosen to follow Jesus Christ." Praise God for this Cambodian listener's testimony!

Praise God for Gil Suh, a Korean missionary who is leading a Spiritual Transformation course for FEBCambodia's team. They write: "Pray it will strengthen us in faith and maturity." Also pray for God's protection over the staff; there have been many occasions where their families have experienced attacks spiritually, as well as in areas of relationships.

Saturday - 5

Mongolia is facing deepening socio-economic challenges with approximately 35% of the population living under the poverty line.

Please pray for Jonathan Frank, chief executive of Feba-UK, as he heads up the mission in Africa, Central Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, and the Middle East…countries in which persecution, poverty or oppression are often a daily fact of life. Jonathan writes: "You may again thank God, as I do, for the incredible freedom we have to worship openly…it is humbling to think of those elsewhere who put their lives on the line to follow Jesus, living out their faith under extreme pressure."

Pray especially for president Gregg Harris, and chair Doug Pennoyer.

Friday - 11

From Feba: "Support from FEBA South Africa is very important for maintaining and developing Far East Broadcasting's international ministry.

Pray that we will follow the Lord's clear guidance and experience His faithful provision as we utilize every opportunity to mobilize the Church for world missions effectively."

Saturday - 12

Thank God for using radio to reach those who have no other means of spiritual teaching or nurturing: "The nearest church in our area is a seven-hour walk away. Your radio program is serving as our pastor, and our church." -From a Feba listener in the Horn of Africa

Sunday - 13

Please pray for Feba's work in Pakistan, and for director Sammy T. and his dedicated program team.

Also pray for God's wisdom and clear guidance as they plan programming schedules, which will impact the lives of many listeners who tune in daily. 

Monday - 14

Tuesday - 15

Please pray for Feba's ministry in Mozambique as Bob Bartz, member of their International Ministry Team, and other staff focus on the large number of Muslims in the country's north region.

Also pray for the huge need for Sena programs in the central parts of Mozambique.

Wednesday - 16

General elections in the Philippines took place last month; please pray that God will have an influence on the new leadership and give them His compassion for the country's citizens; the capitol of Manila has a burgeoning population, and urban poverty is widespread.

Saturday - 19

Thank God for Dan Cura, director of FEBC-Philippines, and for all he does in leading the ministry.

From a Hmong listener in Vietnam: "I believe in God because of your broadcasts. All the believers are strong and have faith because the programs continue and they help us to grow in the Lord. We praise God and thank you and FEBC for sending us the Good News. Please pray for the safety of the believers. In some parts of Vietnam…if we worship God we are attacked and arrested; some believers are put in jail and some live in the jungle with no place to stay. Pray that God will watch over the believers." 

Monday - 21 

Pray for FEBC's Hmong programs and for our broadcasters located both in the US and in Thailand. Ask God to inspire and bless them as they write, produce and voice programs in the Hmong language.

"Hallelujah! I praise and honor God for FEBC and would like to thank and pay my respects to everyone working at the station. I started listening in October 2009…I have been blessed and strengthened by God's words and continue to rely on His strength everyday. The Spirit moved me to give my monthly tithe to FEBC and I send it in hopes of spreading a little hope and supporting God's work all over the world." - From a listener in Korea.

Pray they will see the peace and happiness that we have in Jesus."
