In the midst of the ongoing war, FEBC Ukraine continues to broadcast a Christian message of hope to their listeners across the country.
The Radio M reaching many soldiers in the war zones. So far they’ve distributed a thousand solar-powered radios to troops who have no access to the Internet or electricity.
Speaking from their Radio M studios in Kyiv, FEBC Ukraine director Eduard Kurylenko shares how there’s a remarkable openness to the Gospel on the front lines.
Eduard Kurylenko:
We have many testimonies from soldiers and we have a thousand testimonies every month. They started asking us about Jesus. They started building relationships with God. I mean, they started praying to Jesus.
Radio M presenter Inna also says many of their listeners in the worst affected war zones are finding God’s peace through their broadcasts.
Inna:
We have a lot of stories and response like, “I’m listening to you now and in my neighbor building it was a rocket attack and I’m so afraid and thank you for your prayers on your broadcast. Thank you for your programs because it gives me some peace.”
As well as their ongoing programming, presenters like Inna go the extra mile by hosting a weekly Bible study at their studios. And the team at Radio M remains committed to do all they can to broadcast hope and peace to their listeners who are impacted by the trauma of the war there.
