Ministering in the midst of grief – FEBCambodia

Cambodia is still recovering from the tragedy that recently occured in Phnom Penh when a crowd visiting the Water Festival stampeded on a bridge and hundreds of lives were lost.

Our FEBC staff in Cambodia immediately responded and have been ministering to people offering practical support and broadcasting programs that give to people the peace and comfort that only God can give in these terrible times.

The Family FM team has started making special programs and a team has visited one of the public hospitals interviewing victims of the disaster. They have taken radios and small food packs with them. Their aim is to reach as many hospitals as they can visiting patients before they leave and giving out radios.

Another way FEBCambodia is helping the community is by keeping them informed, letting people in the provinces know of the emergency government number to contact for information about loved ones. Many are desperate for news of family and friends and FEBC is providing that link.

The General Secretary of the Evangelical Fellowship of Cambodia, Rev Heng Cheng has been to the FEBCambodia studio and recorded a special message to the community which has been broadcast in the afternoon program.

FEBCambodia are praying that God will enable them to give a radio to each of the affected families - because they recognise that it is only the message of God's hope and support that can ease their pain and suffering. They are believing for 1000 radios to distribute. Their plan is to organise this through local churches, especially for those in the provinces.

FEBC Australia has responded to the request of FEBCambodia for 1000 radios by committing to give $US10,000. This will be able to provide almost half that number.

If you would like to be a part of this request and God's answer to their prayer please call the Australian office on 1300 720 017 or click the donate button below. 

Please continue to pray for the staff and Family FM as they help meet some of the needs of the people.
