FEBCanada is an autonomous member of FEB Radio International — an interdenominational missionary radio network, which exists for the sole purpose of bringing the love of God to the world by broadcasting the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Mission Statement
Broadcasting the Gospel Worldwide
Vision Statement
- To promote the mission of FEB Radio International throughout Canada.
- To encourage Christians to participate in the radio ministry through personnel, prayer, finances, and language broadcasts.
The Ministry of FEBCanada
As a support country, the primary role of FEBCanada is to encourage Christians to participate in the radio ministry through prayer, finances, personnel, and language broadcast support.
FEBCanada operates recording studios in the Metro Vancouver and Toronto areas. Programs are produced and recorded each month in Cantonese and Mandarin, by the Chinese ministries department — for broadcast to China, and locally.
To help fulfill the objective of encouraging Canadian Christians to participate in the global radio network, FEBCanada shares with ministry partners what God is doing at friendship dinners, via personal contact, in literature distribution, on the Internet, at Christian colleges, in church services and meetings.
Statement of Faith
We Believe:
- The Bible is the inspired, inerrant, authoritative Word of God;
- There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit;
- In the Deity of Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His imminent return in power and glory;
- In the absolute necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit, for the salvation of lost and sinful man;
- In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life;
- In the resurrection of both the saved and the lost — they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of eternal damnation;
- In the spiritual unity of believers in Christ.
Code of Ethics
Recognizing that FEBCanada supporters are partners in spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world by radio, the ministry is committed to full disclosure — as stated in II Corinthians 8:20-21:
"Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us: Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men." (KJV)
FEBCanada is a member in good standing with the Canadian Council of Christian Charities (CCCC), and complies with its stringent standards. For further details, please visit the web site of CCCC at www.cccc.org
Ministry Overview
FEB Radio International is an interdenominational, non-commercial, international Christian radio network — supported by the donations of individuals and churches in many countries.
Purpose and Objective
- General - FEB Radio International's sole purpose is to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world by radio — currently in more than 150 languages and dialects. In so doing, the ministry seeks to cooperate with, and augment, existing missionary efforts and the work of ministries worldwide.
- World By Radio Project - Evolved from the World By 2000 Project, this joint venture involves FEB Radio International and other major missionary radio ministries — HCJB, and TWR, (in association with broadcast-related ministries such as IBRA Radio, SIM, and Words of Hope) ...
"To provide every man, woman, and child on earth, the opportunity to turn on a radio and hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ — in a language they can under-stand, so they can become followers of Christ and responsible members of His church."
Organizational Structure
FEB Radio International consists of autonomous and semi-autonomous national boards, each with various responsibilities contributing to the total ministry. The majority of national boards are grouped under one of two sister organizations: Far East Broadcasting Company, Inc. of La Mirada, California, U.S.A. (founded in 1945) ... or Feba of Worthing, West Sussex, U.K. (founded in 1970).
Radio Ministry
Radio is the foundation and major thrust of the ministry, but not the only tool that FEB Radio International uses to impact lives for Christ.
- Coverage - FEB Radio International's signals cover Southern and Eastern Africa, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Pakistan, India, Central and Southeast Asia, China, Russia, the South Pacific, the Indian Ocean Islands, Australia, and New Zealand.
- Personnel - More than 1,200 people serve with FEB Radio International worldwide. Over 95 percent of the staff are nationals, ministering to their own people.
- Facilities - FEB Radio International owns and operates nearly 40 shortwave, AM, and FM radio transmitters. Major transmission sites (with studios and offices) are located in the Philippines, Saipan (near Guam), and South Korea.
Ministry recording studios and/or offices are also located in Australia, Cambodia, Canada, Cyprus, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Lebanon, Malawi, Mongolia, Mozambique, Myanmar (Burma), New Zealand, Pakistan, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Ukraine, United Kingdom, United States, and Zimbabwe.
- Broadcasting Data - FEB Radio International broadcasts over 600 program-hours daily, in more than 130 languages and dialects. The ministry's radio signal can be heard in over 100 countries — to a potential listening audience of two-thirds of the world's population.
- Programming - National staff members write, record, and host most of the great variety of programs FEB Radio International broadcasts — the remainder is provided by other Christian organizations.
- Broadcasts - Programs include Bible studies, preaching, music, counselling, news, seminary courses, and live call-in — all designed to lead listeners to Christ, disciple and encourage them, and train many for church leadership.
Programs that are broadcast, are in line with FEB Radio International's pre-determined programming objectives for a particular audience. From time to time, FEB Radio International conducts surveys - to ensure that the programs will meet the needs of the listeners.
- Response - An average of over 70,000 responses from listeners, are received by FEB Radio International offices each month. Listeners communicate via letter, e-mail, phone, text message ... or by personal visits to ministry offices. Many listeners cannot afford to write, or choose not to — for fear of persecution (at times, authorities intercept these letters). Nearly as many non-Christians write, as do believers. Typically, appreciation is expressed - often with questions, or requests for help.
- Follow-up - National staff members respond to listeners' requests with Bibles, literature, counsel, etc. Where the situation allows, personal contact is arranged. Listeners are encouraged to join local Christian fellowships.
Literature, Tapes, CDs
In addition to regular listener follow-up, literature, cassette tapes and CDs (of broadcast programs) are made available.
Radio and Relief
The radio ministry plays a vital role as an "emergency response voice" to listeners in devastated areas, where major natural disasters have occurred.
