In 1945, the Far East Broadcasting Company was founded by Robert Bowman, John Broger and William Roberts. Their aim was clear: Christ to the world by radio.
Since the launch of the first station in the Philippines in 1948, broadcasts have expanded through 26 partner fields to reach millions of people across 50 countries in 152 languages, broadcasting some 1,600 hours per day. The strategy was always to share the message of hope in heart languages so the listener can understand and be inspired to follow Jesus Christ.
FEBC Australia was founded in 1965 to support this growing work with prayer and resources. This year, we celebrate 60 years of FEBC Australia. Even as technology has evolved over the decades, from solely broadcasting through radio to smartphones, websites and social media, our mission has never wavered, and will remain the same into the future.
I have the privilege to serve on FEBC International’s Executive Committee and have seen firsthand how the support provided by FEBC Australia has grown both the reach and the impact of the work, with numerous stories of people coming to faith in Jesus. Last year alone, FEBC member organisations around the world
collectively received over 180 million responses. That is many millions of lives impacted by the message of Jesus through the work of FEBC.
While we stop to celebrate all that God has done over the past 60 years, we also look forward to all that is yet to come. With over three billion people yet to hear the gospel, our work continues, until all have heard.
The Board and staff express our deep gratitude to all our supporters who have journeyed with us in this high calling.
Grace and peace to you,
Dr Ron Cameron
