Wars and Peace: Media and Hope in 2026

Let it be a happy new year. Whatever happens in 2026, the Gospel of Peace is being broadcast around the world and into the lives of millions of listeners, like these soldiers in Cambodia. Thanks to you.

At the end of 2025, there were at least 46 wars, military conflicts, and insurgencies inflicting grief on nations and families. Having just enjoyed Christmas, we have sung and celebrated the incredible promise of Emmanuel—God with us (Luke 2:14):

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to those on whom his favour rests

Like the angelic announcement to the shepherds in Luke’s gospel, radio and media deliver God’s word into troubled places and Jesus into the conflicted hearts of listeners.

Thank you for supporting outreach and discipleship broadcasting in some of the most troubled places on earth: Ukraine and Russia, Myanmar, Yemen, Sudan, Mozambique, North Korea, and the Thailand-Cambodia border to name a few. You are announcing peace and offering a great salvation to the nations.

These soldiers are among more than 250 Cambodian military officers to receive audio Bible devices from FEBC recently. An easy-to-use media player filled with scripture read

ings, encouraging messages, and Christian songs in their language. They have become a spiritual companion for many, bringing hope and strength to soldiers and their families.

One general said: “Before I didn’t know much about Jesus, but now I listen to his words. Through the audio box, I’ve listened to many encouraging messages filled with God’s love. Thank you.”  General Keo, Cambodia.

True peace isn’t found in the absence of trouble or conflict, but in the presence of Jesus Christ.

Thank you for communicating the good news among the nations by media, inspiring people to follow Jesus Christ.
