| The very shy "Negritos" are recipients of PM radios in the 1950's. Dr. Doug Pennoyer of Biola University, in consultation with Dr. Tom Headland a foremost expert on Philippine tribal groups, have helped us identify the specific indigenous people in this photo as "Western Luzon Agtas possibly from Quezon or Cagayan Province as evidenced by the arrows which are distinct from the
Zambales Ayta; the house building materials; and the particular
clothing."

| Church in Ban Phu Sang Noy Village, Laos. This church, which had no resident pastor, received most of its Christian encouragement from FEBC's short wave broadcasts. The village is Meo, or Hmong. FEBC's first broadcasts were produced in Lao, spoken by many villagers (mainly men). The Christian Missionary Alliance cooperated with FEBC in the production of its first Lao language broadcasts, and regularly visited this and other tribal villages as they first began to respond to the broadcasts. From one of these villages came FEBC's first Hmong language broadcaster, whose programs eventually stimulated a revival resulting in at least 250,000 conversions starting in the late 1980's. More detailed background on this photo is provided in the August, 1958 edition of the Broadcaster. Year: 1958 Country: LAO Set: 4 Updated: 2008-08-30 15:57:14
