Threat to Radio Station

Christians Fast over Threat to Radio Station in Kenya

Christians at Nairobi Pentecostal Church (NPC) began a three-day fast last Sunday after a letter written to their bishop warned of an imminent attack on Christian radio station Hope FM.

NPC Bishop Boniface Adoyo called for the fast in a letter read to church members on Sunday, saying the threatening letter also mentioned other churches targeted for attack.

Compass Direct News reports the threat comes seven months after a raid on the station on church property left one person dead. On May 12, unidentified gunmen stormed the station, killed a guard, injured three others and torched part of the building after a regular broadcast comparing teachings of the Bible with those of the Quran aired.

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.
