For 79 years The Far East Broadcasting Company has faithfully broadcast the hope of the Gospel around the world. Frank Gray joins us to share his stories of the early days of broadcasting with FEBC, and how radio was used to stay “close to the listener.” Hear how the Lord opened doors and sparked a revival among the Hmong people. It’s an exciting history lesson that is still bearing fruit for Christ…Until All Have Heard. 

“Until All Have Heard.” This is FEBC’s motto. For decades, sharing the Good News is what FEBC has been all about. But we don’t do this alone. In this episode we report on the way your prayers have played a key role in connecting listeners with life-change and salvation all around the globe. Listen in to the conversation with Ed and Wayne as they read listener comments that are evidence of answered prayers. We hope you’ll be encouraged to continue to serve the Lord with us in the year ahead through your prayers…Until All Have Heard.

What is the best way to share your faith? What can we tell others about the person of Jesus that can open eyes to who he really is? Ed and Wayne bring these questions to our ministry friend, Michael Card. Listen in as they discuss the details in the Gospels that make Jesus “beautiful and believable.” Throughout the conversation we’ll hear FEBC listener comments illustrating how the story of Jesus presents a powerful witness reaching across cultural barriers. Have your Bible in-hand as we turn to John 13, and explore the way Jesus teaches us by his example of servant leadership. Our prayer is this conversation will challenge you to look for ways you can live and share the Good News about Jesus…Until All Have Heard. 

“Being able to pray is a privilege,” says our guest Dr. William Thrasher.  Ed and Wayne welcome back Dr. Thrasher to expand on the theme of prayer we started on last week’s episode. Dr. Thrasher explains how we can enter into the important role of praying that God would bring hope to people in hopeless situations. You’ll need your Bible in hand as we walk through Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 1. Learn about the way God’s hope can be released in the lives of people that are overwhelmed with despair… Until All Have Heard. 

Prayer is something we talk a lot about on this podcast.  Hearing about all the needs from the FEBC team can be so overwhelming that it can be hard to know where to start. On this episode, Ed and Wayne welcome back Dr. William Thrasher to help us take lasting steps as people of prayer. Dr. Thrasher is a professor, author and most importantly, he is a man of prayer.  You’ll be refreshed by the way Dr. Thrasher weaves scripture throughout the discussion on how we can look past our own issues and needs in this country so we can focus on the movement of God on a global scale. Have your Bible in-hand and your heart ready to seek to Lord as we pray for the Gospel throughout the world…Until All Have Heard.

“Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.” These words from John the Baptist detail the mission of Jesus. But what does this mean for us today?

Discover how this part of Jewish worship symbolizes the new and living way that Jesus reaches all cultures around the world. We hope you’ll gain fresh insights as you prepare to remember the salvation found in the Lamb of God…Until All Have Heard.

Followers of Jesus around the world will soon be remembering the significant events that took place during Holy Week, some 2000 years ago. As FEBC broadcasters share the story of Jesus’ death and resurrection, it is important for all of us to understand our role in sharing this message. In this episode Ed and Wayne will take us to several passages that help us grasp the challenging words of Jesus to “…deny ourselves and take up our cross daily.”  What will the world see when believers are willing to sacrifice themselves for the benefit of telling others about Jesus?  You’ll want your Bible in hand for a challenging and important conversation that will propel us into this season of remembrance…Until All Have Heard.

We’ll hope you’ll take this as your challenge to pray for our staff to reach the unreached with message of Christ…Until All Have Heard.
