A LEGACY OF FAITH
Bringing the Gospel to China Past, Present, and Future
In the 80 years since our foundation, we’ve experienced God’s faithfulness. When Bob Bowman, John Broger, and William Roberts followed God’s lead to start a missionary radio to share Christ with the world, they had one particular country in mind – China. Hence, Far East Broadcasting Co. (FEBC) was born.

    CHRISTIANITY IN CHINA
    Their very first broadcast was aired from Shanghai. But by 1948, China had closed its doors to foreign missionaries. Yet airwaves can travel where no missionaries are allowed to tread. So FEBC moved its base to the Philippines, where the broadcasts continued to reach the unreached in the communist state.
    LISTENER'S LETTER
    “He saved my life”

    “Under Grandmother’s influence, as well as regular listening to Liangyou programs, I began to know God in a real sense as early as my senior high years. He saved my life.”

    Wai was riding a motorcycle to church one day when he came across a speeding truck. Just as the truck sped through the red traffic lights, Wai heard a voice charging him, “Get going, quick!” “I went as fast as I could, and because I did, I escaped being hit. That’s when I knew without a doubt that the God my grandmother and I believe in is a true God,” Wai voiced in awe.

    “As a bonus, I came to know my wife through my Christian faith. Now our whole family are Christians, all because of grandmother’s Gospel radio. For that, I am grateful to God.”

    Today, millions more ethnic Chinese living in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and around the world have joined Wai in listening to Radio Liangyou. Programs are available online, on traditional radio, and web app, in eight different languages. It is an exciting journey for FEBC’s Chinese Ministries to see generation after generation reached.
