BROADCASTS BRING TRIBE TO CHRIST

FEBC BROADCASTS BRING 90 PERCENT OF TRIBE TO CHRIST

Far East Broadcasting Company’s (FEBC) work in an isolated Southeast Asian nation has resulted in an entire tribe’s salvation.

Recently FEBC President Gregg Harris visited the pastor who leads the ministry’s work there. Nicknamed “Mr. R.” for security reasons, the pastor related the story of two young tribal men who approached him with a desire to lead their 30,000 fellow tribesmen to Christ. Mr. R put the two in contact with FEBC who trained them to broadcast programs in the tribal language.

The programs were aired via shortwave, and the young men returned home to distribute radios donated by FEBC amongst the villagers. Tribal elders proclaimed, “We’re on the radio like all the major nations!” Immediately the tribe’s attitude toward Christianity changed and many became eager to purchase radios.

Today, after two decades of learning about Jesus in their own language, 90 percent of the tribe members have come to faith in Christ.
