We thank God for the life of Bruce Townsend, who passed away peacefully, aged 101.
Bruce was part of the small founding team that launched FEBC Australia in 1965. After meeting Dr Robert Bowman of FEBC International, he stepped forward in faith to establish the work here, trusting God to make a way for the gospel to be heard where Christ is not yet known.
From those early days, Bruce stood with the vision of communicating the Good News among the nations through media. Through his faith and obedience, FEBC Australia became part of a wider global work reaching people in their heart language, including in places where access to the gospel is limited or restricted.
We give thanks for Bruce’s life, his faith in Christ, and his faithful part in this mission.
