Many Christians fear Islam. But in their fear, they fail to understand that many Muslims are desperately seeking after God and are open to the truth of the Gospel. Where missionaries are locked out and local Christians face persecution, radio can reach quietly into the homes and hearts of Muslim believers. That’s why FEBC broadcasts into the Muslim world are so crucial and strategic.
Isa is Arabic for Jesus. And proclaiming Jesus is the focus of this effort.
Project Isa is one of FEBC’s most ambitious projects ever. Project Isa reaches Muslims in countries like Pakistan, Iraq, Indonesia and many more with the Good News of Jesus Christ.
