Help share God's faithfulness

Hope on the battleground 

Our partners at FEBC Ukraine have been broadcasting to the country for nearly eighty years. Since the escalation to the full-scale war in 2022, God’s love and the message of the gospel have been needed more than ever. Some of the FEBC Ukraine team have become army chaplains, working to broadcast content for military listeners and beyond. Travelling to dangerous parts of the country and often under fire, they work with soldiers on suicide prevention, offering emotional support and helping the men deal with anger issues.

Some of their listeners’ stories are truly remarkable. Illya* was in the military but was invalided out after both his legs were broken. He met with one of FEBC Ukraine’s counsellors when he was suicidal. He wept and told them, “I don’t want to live anymore.” The counsellor told him about God and they prayed together, after which Illya put his faith in Jesus: “You gave me hope,” he said; “I don’t want to end my life anymore.”

Hearing God’s voice of joy

Our partners at Iraq FM produce community-focused programmes which address issues facing the country. Iraq is has been experiencing political, economic and social instability for decades. Many listeners are vulnerable, lonely and isolated, but the hope-filled values around God’s joy and peace permeate Iraq FM's programmes and people are coming to faith.

Khaled* contacted the team to say that after listening to the broadcasts, he now believes in Jesus. A face-to-face meeting is planned, and he will be discipled and supported in his new faith. Yosef*, one of the Iraq FM team, says: “We are confident that God’s work will continue effectively with the power of the Holy Spirit, despite all the obstacles we face.”
