Stories from the field that testify to lives being changed by the Gospel.
A few months ago, FEBC Russia received the following testimony from a Russian doctor sharing how she and her medical team had been listening to Gospel programming in-between calls and shifts. She does not come from a Christian background but is moving closer to Jesus every day. It’s incredible to consider how God is touching the hearts of people in …
In Indonesia, an extraordinarily creative way to meet with other believers for church services is occurring in a very unlikely place—a parking lot! In cooperation with local churches, FEBC Indonesia has harnessed the broadcasting power of its radio network to organize weekly drive-in church services. Families are now coming together to worship, listen to a live message on the radio, …
Stretched across the equator in Southeast Asia, more than 13,000 islands form the country of Indonesia. At low tide, that number jumps to more than 17,000! Half of the population is located on the island of Java, where FEBC Indonesia has been headquartered near the capital city of Jakarta since 1969. What most people don’t realize is that Indonesia is …
Indonesia is one country . . . made up of over 13,000 islands. It’s also home to the largest Muslim population and the 4th most populous country in the world, with over 275 million people. In such a large country that stretches across thousands of remote islands, an astonishing number of people have had little chance of hearing the Gospel. But …
While many in the western world may be breathing a sigh of relief as Covid-19 restrictions ease and new cases plummet, in many countries it’s an entirely different story. In early May 2021, India set a global record for new daily cases at over 400,000—far surpassing the daily cases Americans experienced at the height of the U.S. outbreak. In addition …
“Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear…” (Mark 4:9). Jesus often repeated this phrase at the end of His parables. Not everyone who heard Him understood His teaching—some had no desire to understand—but He invited them all the same. People whose hearts were open to the Good News of the Kingdom learned and listened. Seeds were planted and some …
Recently, FEBC recorded a livestream virtual event – Reaching the Unreached 2021. During the event we took a few minutes to answer questions submitted by a variety of friends and supporters of FEBC. They asked questions like: How is FEBC able to put Gospel content on the internet in places where Christianity is prohibited? What’s the status of the new …
As one of the most developed nations in the world, Japan is surprisingly unreached with the Gospel. Only 0.8% of the population are professing an evangelical Christian faith. This tiny number is declining as fewer young people are coming to faith in Christ. With every passing year, the average age of Christian believers is creeping higher. If this trend continues, …
High up in the mountainous border regions of Thailand are some of the least-reached people groups in the world. Of the entire Thai population, 88% are still considered unreached (unlikely to hear the Gospel in their lifetime), while only 1% are Christian. Reached only by small dirt paths, barely wide enough for two lanes of foot traffic, reaching some of …
When COVID-19 struck Russia in 2020, atheism offered no meaningful answers for a people who had lost their sense of personal safety and security amidst the economic and health crises. Searching for answers, large numbers of Russians began tuning their radios to faith-based programs. Many of them contacted FEBC Russia for the first time — a significant increase in call …
