Radio Aid Continues to China

China's Sichuan province was struck by a massive earthquake in May.

Shortly after the disaster, FEBC began airing specially designed programs to help those in need. Programming included a disease prevention and control program hosted by an experienced medical doctor.

Although it has been more than a month since the earthquake hit, some people have yet to receive assistance. When FEBC Chinese Programming staff visited listeners affected by the earthquake, they learned that some churches had not received relief from the government. FEBC staff are now giving support directly to those churches and partnering with two local medical and relief organisations.

Radios are a lifeline to emergency and health information and to spiritual encouragement. FEBC is committing to distributing 20,000 radios to survivors. and has already distributed more than 1,200 radios.

Another new program, Rekindle Your Heart, will soon be on the air. This is a daily 30-minute broadcast designed to deeply encourage and restore listeners, and includes live interviews with earthquake victims.

FEBC Chinese Programming have also created a special CD, with content on Post Traumatic Stress and related topics, which are being distributed throughout Sichuan Province.
