Wind-up radios to make an impact in Cambodia

25 May, 2007
Ministry News Network

Cambodia (MNN) -- Far East Broadcasting Company-Cambodia is working on distributing a few hundred wind-up radios throughout the country within the next couple of days.

This follows the presentation of 5,000 radios by FEBC-Korea to the Deputy Prime Minister Sok An.

The team also met with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen. Of the 5,000 wind-up radios presented, 1,000 radios have been passed to FEBC-Cambodia for distribution.

Pray that God will guide and protect the ministry team, and that He will bless their efforts as they hand out the radios and fellowship with listeners. Many of the listeners are hard-pressed to purchase batteries and live in isolated areas, so the wind-up radios are an especially appreciated commodity.

In 1976, Cambodian national programmers joined Far East Broadcasting Company's (FEBC) studios in the Philippines to resume making culturally-relevant evangelistic programs for their own people.

By 1993, the government allowed national programmers to establish FEBC Cambodia's first office and studio in the capital of Phnom Penh.

Five years ago, FEBC Cambodia introduced its first local station, Family-FM. Daytime programming on Family-FM is pre-evangelistic with very light Christian content. Evening broadcasts are directed towards aiding the growth of believers through Bible studies and various programs. Pray that the distribution will help expand FEBC's audience.

Me too, I wish to thank FEBC-Korea,
for their valuable donation to us.
I can see many people would enjoyed
this gaget. Khmer people just love
to listen to a good lakaun bassac
and some country musics.

Have fun everyone! I am very happy
for you. You well deserved it for
your hardworks and patients.
