The Far East Broadcasting Company (FEBC) is starting its 9th radio station in the Philippines. President of FEBC Gregg Harris says: ”What’s so exciting about this particular project is it is specifically designed for an evangelistic outreach to 14 different tribal groups in the northern part of Luzon Island.”
According to Harris they’re currently raising $300,000 for this 10,000 watt AM radio station. “Our goal is July 1, 2007 to be on the air with four language groups initially. And, as we’re able to develop the support for the station and get the right kind of people producing the programmes, the ultimate goal is 14 different languages from that one location.”
A dollar for dollar grant challenge has been established to get the project started, says Harris. But, He says, “The on-going operational costs are designed to be borne by the Filipino Christians and by the local churches.” In fact, this project is truly a partnership. Harris says, “FEBC is providing the leadership in terms of the hardware and the operation of the station, but the programming is going to be done in cooperative partnerships with many different mission groups and local churches.”
