Feba UK has been working most of this year on a brand new UK Supporters Website which will soon be available on our existing domain (www.feba.org.uk).

Web Developer, Sam Peckham, talks to Mark Taylor about his new work with Feba, and tells us some things to expect from the new site, we hope will go live before the end of September 2008.

Sam is looking for a few good beta testers, and if you are interested in getting a sneak peak and being able to provide useful feedback to the development team, please email Sam direct: speckham@feba.org.uk. There are a few terms and conditions, that he will explain to you.

Casting Hope #14. The third in a series of four messages by Martin Goldsmith, presented at the joint Feba/FEBC International Conference, held earlier this year. Martin’s text was Matthew 18: 1-20. This is a different angle on The Great Commission.

Previous talks may be found in podcasts 11 and 12.

In this podcast: Theo Assare and Elizabeth Goldsmith. Theo talks to Mark Taylor about the praiseworthy efforts of two Theovision staff who continued to record material after rebels started a short war in Chad recently. This interview was recorded in Chad, last week. Recording conditions were pretty poor, and outside temperatures were in the low 40’s centigrade! Elizabeth’s talk was recorded at the Feba/FEBC international conference held earlier this year near London, when it was much colder.

Show number 6. Jeremy Rolph, a student at St. Andrew’s High School in Worthing was in the building this week as part of a work experience adventure with Feba - so of course we had to show him how to make a podcast, and get him to do the voice-over bits for us. Well done, Jeremy!

What is in this show?

Chris Binstead talks about his role as Feba’s ambassador in the UK. he also tells us about the Partners for Hope and the Feba Supporters Trip to India in early 2008.

You can contact Chris by email at cbinstead@feba.org.uk or by his work phone number +44 (01903) 237281.

The podsafe music in today’s show came from http://www.magnatune.com/:

The band is a group that has been together since the 1970s, and they call themselves Thursday Group. The track is called Turtle Spin, from the CD called Uncle Mean. Quite jazzy, with some funk, swing, and blues stirred in there.

This track is actually used by quite a well known podcast as its signature tune - so the prize of public fame by mention in a future show is up for the firts person to email and let me know which podcast uses Turtle Spin as its signature music.

The sound clip at the start of our opening signature includes the orginal Shortwave logo that Feba broadcast for many years from the Seychelles. It came from the opening bars of ‘What a Friend we have in Jesus’.
