Rural Muslims Bangladesh’s (RMB) partnership with FEBA UK combines Christian teaching with input on health and social issues, it was reported in July.
18 listeners have been baptised in the last year. Those who respond to RMB’s gospel message know that, in doing so, they risk being expelled from their villages. RMB broadcasts in Bengali, providing trustworthy material on faith and practical issues, and presents Christian content in a style that is accessible to non-literate listeners.
Brazil: Facebook for faithful
Bible Society’s Newswatch (BBC News)
Swearing and erotic content in any form is banned on a new social network site, similar to Facebook, launched by evangelical Christians in Brazil in June.
The site, called Facegloria, in July had apparently attracted 100,000 members since its launch. 600 words are banned on the site and there’s an ‘Amen’ button instead of Facebook’s ‘like’ tool. Brazil’s Facegloria is currently only available in Portuguese.
