Feba’s programmes address life issues relevant to our listeners, in their heart language, in culturally appropriate ways. It is our desire that our listeners find life in all its fullness, in every area of their lives.

Feba longs to see practical, social and spiritual change as our programmes educate, raise awareness, inform and entertain.

Feba aims to give hope – eternal hope through faith in Jesus Christ and hope for everyday as life situations are transformed.

Listener Testimony

Alone, pregnant, in disgrace and miles from home, by chance, despairing Chipo heard Feba’s Faith in Action programme on Zimbabwe’s national broadcaster, SFM. She trusted the Lord - and began to turn her life around.

Limited by income, remote location or imposed restrictions, some people just don’t have access to many of the different media choices the rest of the world enjoys. Short wave radio can span thousands of miles, over mountains and across borders.

Are your ears still buzzing from the sound of the vuvuzelas at the FIFA World Cup’s 64 matches? Listeners tuned in by radio and the web (11 June – 11 July) to hear special programmes Up for the Corner (2K Plus International Sports Media), Afrique 2010 (Feba South Africa), short wave broadcasts to NE Africa and many more.

When you think of Feba’s ministry, what springs to mind? The radio programmes (in people’s heart languages) that are broadcast on short wave, FM and the internet, right? But don’t forget those front-line workers who answer the phone, SMS messages or website posts from programme listeners.

Lives are being changed for the better – and bringing real hope to the hard-to-reach! In rural Mozambique, Feba staff found an unusual, practical way to help one of their listeners. Thanks to our supporters’ generosity. Radio can reach remote people and places.

Prayer Diary

NORTHEAST AFRICA MINISTRY
  • MEKONEN, MEDIA COORDINATOR
    Pray for Mekonen who has been a media coordinator with Feba since 2006. He works to see projects through, producing programmes for local and short wave broadcasts, integrating them with other media and our partners’ ministries, tackling project training and empowering local people to carry on what they have begun.

    Pray for his wife and their three children that God will watch over them as Mekonen travels for conferences and to meet partners. Pray for their eldest daughter as she soon enters secondary school that she will adjust well.

  • HEART LANGUAGES
    Pray for the three languages in production in Mekonen’s area (that we will not name for security reasons). Pray that the listeners will respond to the message spoken in their heart language and contact the team for follow-up individually.

    “We are very happy when we listen to your programmes in our language.”

  • MEDIUM WAVE BROADCASTS
    Due to government controls, the majority of Feba’s radio broadcasts are on short wave. However, in one Islamic country, the programme producers have managed to get air-time on one regional government run medium wave radio station. Pray that security will not become an obstacle.

    Christians in two other regions have tried to do the same but the government security departments have not approved the programmes for airing. Pray for a breakthrough in the spiritual realms.

  • PARTNERSHIPS
    “Many people are calling in to the programmes,” says Mekonen. “They say ‘I’m in a really difficult situation but after hearing you, I think I can have hope.’ We do not give it practically ourselves, but we are working in partnership with other missions on the ground. We point out the situations and we say our listener is experiencing these difficulties – they are lacking water, lacking medicine.”

    Most of our ministry in this region is carried out in partnership. We rejoice that we are able to accomplish so much more working together than we could ever achieve on our own. Pray for God’s leading in choosing new partnerships.

  • LEADERS AND CHIEFS
    “Pray especially for the leaders/chiefs,” says Mekonen. “I always emphasize the leaders because when the leaders change, they can speak and the community will listen. And can bring a bigger change to a larger people.”

    Pray that they will grasp the message on the radio and tell the community what they have heard, transforming their lives.

  • BEAN PEOPLE GROUP
    The programmes broadcast to the Bean are voiced by two men: an older man (who can’t read or write, so he translates his part as someone speaks the words to him) and a younger man. Pray for more Bean speakers to join in programme recording.

    Ministry partners are also hoping to find enough people amidst the small number of Christians to record the audio to the Jesus film in the Bean language this year. Pray that they can locate enough voices and find a safe place to gather. Pray that those who can’t read can memorise their parts for recording.

  • NOT MUSLIM OR PROTESTANT
    The People Group S team produced new music that relates to the cultural and Bible story segments in the programmes. The language used in the programmes is designed to be acceptable to the Muslim audience. Listeners in many places are sending in stories and expressing their joy in the programmes.

    A frequently asked question is: “Are you Muslim or are you Pente [Protestant]?” Producers answer the question saying: “We are S [People Group S]”. Pray for unity in Christ among this group.
