Urgent prayer needed for Japan

Please join us in praying for those affected by the tragedy unfolding in Japan. At this time, staff of FEBC-Japan in Tokyo report no injuries, although several of them have been stranded. Gregg Harris, President of FEBC-USA has been in contact with FEBC-Japan field director, Keiko Yoshizaki.

Prayer Points

  • Thank God for protecting FEBC’s staff in Japan.
  • Ask God to help staff to remain safe and be able to contact their loved ones.
  • Ask God to open the hearts of millions of Japanese to their need for his love and salvation.
  • Pray that God will use FEBC's broadcasts to comfort and encourage many during this time of suffering. Many forms of media will be inaccessible, and many will turn to radio!
  • Pray for special programming that FEBC-Japan staff will prepare to help and encourage those who are afflicted.

Consoling listeners after Cambodia festival stampede

In response to the recent Phnom Penh stampede tragedy and its aftermath, FEBC Cambodia and its Family FM programming staff have been reaching out to their grieving community.

Prayer Points

  • Continue to pray for the people of Cambodia as they come to terms with the disaster caused by a stampede on the Koh Pich Bridge on 22 November. There is much fear in Phnom Penh. Altars have been set up all over the city which people think will appease the spirits of the dead and prevent further catastrophe. Pray against the spiritual powers that hold people in bondage.
  • Pray for the FEBC programming team, for sensitivity and wisdom in their programming in days to come. Pray for counselling programmes that we are organising; these will feature pastors and partners who specialise in that area of ministry. Pray that these programmes will be a real help to the injured, traumatised and bereaved.
  • Together with a local partner, a team from FEBC has visited one of the public hospitals to distribute radios and food parcels to victims of the disaster. Pray that many will tune into Family FM and through it discover God’s love for them.
  • Pray for the teams of counsellors from churches and organisations who have been visiting people in the hospitals. They say many are having nightmares and struggling with guilt because they trod on others in their attempt to escape from the crush.
  • The public hospitals here are overcrowded and the staff exhausted. Pray for those still working to deal with the horrific injuries suffered. Local groups including NGOs have rallied round to send in medicine and food. Please pray that enough aid will be received to treat all the injured and to manage their pain.
  • The disaster appears to have stirred up the church, both local and international, to a new level and intensity of prayer for the nation. Please pray with us for a fresh move of God in Cambodia.

Radio broadcasts hope as floods rage on

As the news of the heavy flooding in Pakistan unfolded, Feba Pakistan staff and their partners put together an action plan for response during the crisis, despite disrupted internet access and downed phone lines.

Prayer Points

  • Pray for the distribution of clean water and food, and pray against the spread of disease – it is the very old and the very young that are most at risk.
  • Pray for the provision of shelter as the monsoon season continues into September, then gives way in October to clear skies and cooler nights.
  • Pray for Feba’s radio programmes – initially responding to disaster, and subsequently assisting with information for reconstruction and rehabilitation.

In a disaster, radios save lives

“As soon as a disaster happens people want information. They want to know what just happened. Was that a tsunami? Was that an earthquake? But then how to get food, water, health information, and shelter. All these basic things. Everyone’s going to have those questions in every disaster.”
