Far East Broadcasting Company (FEBC)-Korea held a special retreat last week for its national steering committee members in Wonju, Gangwon Province, to mark its 70th anniversary, the Christian radio broadcaster said Thursday.
The two-day event, which took place June 5 and 6 at Oak Valley Resort, drew around 1,500 steering committee members from 13 regional branches across the country. The attendance was the highest in the organization’s history.
The FEBC-Korea steering committee was established in September 1980 to provide financial and prayer support for the broadcaster during a period of financial difficulty. Over the decades, it has grown into a major nationwide network supporting the station's radio-based missionary work.
During the opening service, Rev. Kim Mi-yeol of Wonju Jungbu Church delivered a sermon emphasizing that the mission of spreading the gospel remains unchanged despite shifting eras.
