Some of Feba’s partners work in places where there are barriers to sharing about God’s love and the transformation it brings.  

Our partner, ministering to listeners in Central Asia, shares how radio on the internet overcomes these barriers every hour of the day:

People who seek God’s truth and love have often faced multiple barriers and difficulties, especially in Central Asia, where access to “spiritual food” is limited or impossible. For example, in our country you cannot meet in home churches, you cannot worship, you cannot have more than one copy of the Bible for the whole family, and you cannot share the gospel or you will end up in jail with an expensive penalty.

Our web radio became one of the main ways of ministry - sharing God’s love and Word in a 24/7 format.

There are hardly any believers in our village. I’m very glad that I know about your online radio. You cannot imagine, but you saved me from many problems.

For many years, people were forced to search noisy frequencies and stations to listen to a 30-minute programme at a very late time of the day. Now, the majority of people in our country have mobile phones connected to the internet, which is also becoming cheaper and available. This means that they can listen to our preaching programmes, prayers, Bible lessons, and worship songs for 24 hours a day. Listeners help us improve the quality of our content because we have fast feedback and can easily satisfy their needs.

It is good that you started to broadcast your radio 24 hours. Several times, your topics helped me right away; they comforted me when I needed it. I can get that comfort every minute I have a hard life time.

We get hundreds of thankful letters, messages and responses from our listeners for this unique radio service in our country, which we have run for several years.

Unfortunately, there are those who threaten and try to intimidate us, but also, a lot of those who rejoice in the existence of our radio ministry. Here is what one listener told us:

“We realised that your radio has wonderful topics about family and raising children...We parents started communicating with our daughter and each other differently, much warmer and closer than ever before. In your topics you say that ‘it will give many fruits in the future’; we hope to have those fruits from all the new things we started to do. Besides these, you teach about relationships with kids when they grow and get older. We hope it will also be useful for us in the future. It’s good when you teach us to share and tell our kids about all the truths we know about God.”
