Early last fall, Feba, our European affiliate, received word from the Iraqi government that their FM radio license was finally approved! 

Feba is now on the air five hours a day, seven days a week in a large Iraqi city. Since Feba requested a community radio license to reach the local population, the broadcast team focuses on issues that concern most people, such as peace and security. They also encourage listeners by broadcasting messages of love and joy. In addition to the new FM station, Feba reaches Iraqi Christians through daily shortwave broadcasts.

Building Relationships

Ever since the station was launched, listeners have called in to congratulate the new broadcasting team. Many from the Christian community have also visited to offer congratulations on the new FM station. The aim is to build an audience with the majority population and develop a relationship with them. While it is acceptable to talk about Jesus on the new station, Feba cannot openly evangelize. But when listeners call in, the follow-up team can share the gospel with anyone who expresses an interest in the Christian faith.

Praise God we now have a radio presence in this war-torn country! We pray the people who tune in are comforted by these daily programs hosted by Iraqi Christians… and that many will come to know Christ as their Lord and Savior!
