Feba India launches internet radio

Febaonline is streaming audio 24/7 via the internet in a number of languages for India to reach the cyber audiences of different faiths with the Gospel and strengthen the faith of Christians.

That means computer users can hear Feba India’s radio programmes in their language of choice at any time by logging on to www.febaonline.org

Febaonline was launched on Saturday 10 January. The home page features a radio dial that listeners can use to tune in to a programme by language, with a wide genre of programmes catering to audiences between 7 to 70 and beyond.

The web site also includes a station listing, programme schedule and a live chat group.

Kenneth Edward, Programme Coordinator says: “Though the project is still in the teething stage, we already have partners joining us with paid airtime.” In addition to people leaving online messages, Kenneth says: “We also have many people coming online to chat with us through the site.”

Listener Response:
“It’s a blessing to access your site and listen to the Word of God in my room, when I am alone. Please play more programmes in Telugu.”

“I keep listening to your programmes over the internet very often. Please let me know if there is any of your staff that I can meet.”

CA Benjamin, National Director, says: “Although this site is still very much in its infancy, we have great plans to develop more broadcasts in a number of different languages.

“There are many new challenges and along with it comes new opportunities to minister. Thanks for praying.”
