Letters from Our Young Listeners

- Lena from Khakasia

"Hello, Writing to you is a young girl. I became a believer only recently. My friend at school shared her faith with me and I accepted Jesus as my Savior.

When I read the New Testament, I feel like I go into another world where God rules. In my real world I try to live according to Christ's teachings, and in that I need all the help I can get. I receive a lot of encouragement from your programs. I listen to them daily and that builds my faith. Thanks. I praise God for FEBC. "

- Anya from Krasnodar

I am 15 years old. I do not believe in God. I was raised in such a way that I should only believe in myself. I am interested in religion from the standpoint of understanding artistic expressions of some great painters. It is hard to understand them without knowing much about Christianity. I started to listen to FEBC and I received a lot of good information about the Bible and about Jesus Christ. I became even more interested in religious history and legends. There is something in it that draws my attention.

- Yury from Astrakhan

I am a university student, and recently I started to study the Christian religion. I listen to your broadcasts as they help me to understand Christianity more. I am not a Christian, but I am reading the Bible and it makes a lot of sense to me.

I am glad that in your programs you pay a lot of attention to people like me, who are seeking the truth in this life. I am grateful for your service.

- Alesha from Ufa

I am 14 years old. I recently became interested in the Christian faith and started to listen to FEBC programs. The person of Jesus Christ fascinates me. No wonder you talk so much about Him; He is an extraordinary individual. I also like the music in your programs. When I have time, I always listen to you.

Please pray for me so that I will be able to accept Christ by faith, as you teach.

- Irina from Armavir

My name is Irina and I am finishing high school this year. I have many interests and religion recently has begun to interest me as well. I want to know how Christians live and what their purpose is in life. I also would like to know what God wants from us and how we can know it.

I recently started to listen to FEBC and it seems that eventually I will receive answers to all my questions through your programs. You talk a lot about faith of the heart and I hope that in time I will be able to grasp that concept of Christianity.

- Sergei from Latvia

I am a university student and an FEBC listener for more than four years. Through your programs I learned a lot about Jesus and received answers to many of my questions. As a result I am now a Christian and I work in my local church. I enjoy telling others about Christ so other people may receive Him as their Lord and Savor, just as I did.

You helped me with literature and that enabled me to share it with non-believers free of charge. Thank you for that and for everything that I received from FEBC.

- Oleg from Novorossijsk

I am 25 years old. I am writing to you to say how grateful I am for the programs broadcasted from Saipan island. I am grateful that I live during a time of liberty in our country and can freely listen to the Christian programs. Many of your programs are very interesting to me since I am from a non-Christian family and every new aspect on the Christian life helps me to understand how God wants me to live my life.

Please send me a New Testament if you can. I'd like to study this book.
