FEBC Partner Station in Mongolia Makes Spiritual Inroads

Tuesday, 13 May 2008

 

In Mongolia, a country of 2.6 million steeped in atheism, Buddhism and shamanism, Far East Broadcasting Co. (FEBC) has been working with local partner station Wind FM since 2000 to broadcast Christian radio programmes.

Today there are more than 40,000 Christians and 400 churches in the country. But Wind FM Director Bat Tuvshintsengel said this creates an obvious challenge.

“The church has been wide in evangelism, but in terms of discipleship we’re lacking a lot of capacity like leadership,” he explained. “That’s why the churches have a goal to make 10 percent of our population disciples of Jesus Christ by the year 2020.”

Wind FM has plans to be on the air in all 21 provinces in Mongolia. But the vision doesn’t end there. “We have 6 million Mongolians living in China who have no chance of exposure to the gospel,” Tuvshintsengel said. “So we want to reach out to these people via shortwave. Today shortwave is still very, very prominent.”
