FEBC to start unique radio station in Philippines

Philippines (MNN) --  Radio is sometimes the only way to take the  
Gospel into unreached areas of the world. While Far East Broadcasting  
Company is already broadcasting in the Philippines, they're starting  
another radio station there that will be unique to anything else they're  
doing there. 

President of FEBC Gregg Harris says this will be their 9th radio station.  
"What's so exciting about this particular project is it is specifically  
designed for an evangelistic outreach to 14 different tribal groups in the  
northern part of Luzon Island." 

Evangelism in this part of the world is difficult as a national missionary  
told Harris recently. He says it consisted of a, "10 hour bus ride, three  
hour Jeepney ride (and) then he would get into a canoe and travel two  
hours up stream. Then he would hike for an hour and that would only  
get him to the home base of where he was going to conduct his mission  
trip." 

According to Harris they're currently raising $300,000 for this 10,000  
watt AM radio station. "Our goal is July 1, 2007 to be on the air with four  
language groups initially. And, as we're able to develop the support for  
the station and get the right kind of people producing the programs, the  
ultimate goal is 14 different languages from that one location." 

A dollar for dollar grant challenge has been established to get the  
project started, says Harris. But, He says, "The on-going operational  
costs are designed to be borne by the Filipino Christians and by the  
local churches." 

In fact, this project is truly a partnership. Harris says, "FEBC is  
providing the leadership in terms of the hardware and the operation of  
the station, but the programming is going to be done in cooperative  
partnerships with many different mission groups and local churches." 

Harris says Filipino pastors have two specific prayer needs. "The  
number one need that they have is to find the right people to get behind  
the microphone to do the evangelism. So that really is the first prayer  
request, and of course asking God to bring in the funding is very  
important."
