Community Family Radio, Mongolia FEBC Radio station


Community family radio WIND-FM 104.5 is o­ne of the most listened local radio stations in Mongolia. In just a few years, WIND has been recognized by the government of Mongolia as o­ne of two high standard professional radio stations. WIND can potentially reach o­ne million inhabitants in Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia.
In addition to the local audience reached o­n FM, radio programs produced in WIND-FM’s Ulaanbaatar studios can reach as many as six million Mongolians living in Outer Mongolia and the Chinese Inner Mongolia via shortwave signal from international radio stations, look for details from www.wbradio.net -website.



The home of WIND-FM burnt down o­n January 13th, 2003. To replace the building, which was completely destroyed, drawings for a new radio station were prepared free of charge by Christian volunteers in Finland. The new facility is under construction and is scheduled to be finished by May 2008. The entire radio station construction project is being funded through donations. Finnish volunteers with the help of local labor are building it from the ground up.

FEBC-Australia's David Bayliss stayed behind after the dedication and finished some of the crucial installations, reporting...  "We have completed the installation of the new rack as shown here in the photo next to Tomroo. Just to the right of WIND-FM's new rack you can see the TV station's rack of equipment. Yesterday was a big day at the transmitter site for Tomroo and I as we transferred all the current equipment from the TV station's rack into our new rack. There remains some additional work (installing of some new equipment where the blanking panels are now, the rewiring of the room's electrical supply, and the installation of a better grounding system) which will all be completed when I return for my next visit to Mongolia..."

Radio Wind FM dedication seremony participantsMonday, May 26th, was a joyful day in the lives of those attending the 7th Anniversary and official dedication of the Wind FM radio building! The event brought together the Family radio staff, many of the Finnish volunteers and Mongolian construction workers, listeners, and friends, as well as many supporters. As Batjargal said in his opening remarks... 'Sixty months we have waited for this. The day is here! A lot of sweat and sleepless nights, but the day is here.' The celebration started with singing worship songs led by a group from the New Life Church. The guests filling the auditorium were deeply moved and it appeared they were joined together in their hearts as o­ne with the idea, "God is good,' as expressed by FEBC vice president Luke Cheng. The WIND FM auditorium was filled with Mongolians and guests from 13 other countries including Australia, Canada, Finland, Indonesia, Philippines, USA, Singapore, Korea, UK, Germany, Norway, and New Zealand.

FEBC engineers Mike Adams, David Bayliss, Guy West (above) and John Tan (below left) have arrived to Ulaanbaatar to install the last studio equipment. They will be working together with Chris Slabaugh (below right) for few more weeks.
The inauguration of WIND-FM will be commenced o­n May 26th, starting 11 AM local time.
 

Chris Slabaugh writes...
'In the FEBC prayer target for Monday April 28, the request was for completion of the WIND facilities, completion of construction etc. The engineers here installing equipment have been looking for a solution to a problem in the transmitter. The testing has been going o­n for several days. o­n Monday, when many people around the world were praying, a breakthrough occurred in the search. The transmitter problem has been diagnosed and appropriate measures have started. '

David Bayliss at WIND-FM writes o­n Monday, April 14th...Well, it's often been said that the age of miracles is not over.Today that was o­nce again proved. The container cleared customs within o­ne day. We were expecting at least 2 or 3 days! This morning we heard from the shipping agent that it had arrived in UB, Chizoo and Tomroo spend the day at customs, and this evening the container arrived o­n-site.

The construction of WIND-FM has been a remarkable wonder of international co-operation. Several  countries from the East, and several countries from the West have been 'meeting,cooperating, and  working alongside o­ne another' in the midst of North East Asia in an answer to prayer to make a  dream become a reality. This May 26th is scheduled as the official inauguration day of the WIND-FM  radio building. That means most of the construction work will be completed by then, and the Finnish  builders including these in the photos will return to their homes in Finland.  About fifty Finnish  volunteers have assisted in either the design, the management of the project, or taken part in the  many construction labors it has taken to build WIND-FM over the past four and a half years. The  Finns have been working side by side with the Mongolian workers as well as with members of FEBC's  international team of missionary volunteers from various backgrounds. 
 The WIND-FM radio house will be functional near the end of May, however, your prayers and support  will still be needed after inauguration day as some finetuning of the interiors, fencing and the  building of a guard shack have yet to be completed. (more by clicking the headline above)

On February 18-21 WIND-FM hosted their first training seminar in the new building! It was organised for the NGOs, working in Ulaanbaatar, to train their workers to use radio as a means of enhancing their work. All in all, thirty workers took part in the seminar which was held o­n the third floor of the new WIND-FM radio house.   
Tuya and Sansaraa were the instructors during the radio course. But before the training began, the offices on the third floor had to moved to the first floor. The Wind FM team welcomed the helping hands of FEBC's Chris Slabaugh, as shown in the photo that follows, as he was instrumental in accomplishing this task! (see more photos by clicking the topic of the news...)
