For months it seemed likely that one of the major distributors/retailers of Christian books, music and resources in the UK would fall foul of the recession.
Keith Danby, IBS-STL Chief Executive said, “I am delighted with the developments. I could not have imagined five weeks ago such a positive outcome. All along we have had three goals in mind: the continuity of the distribution of Christian resources, safeguarding jobs, and finding purchasers who would invest in the businesses and take them to a new level.”
Authentic Media has been bought out by the Eastbourne-based media group Kingsway, while Australian Christian company Koorong has taken over Authentic Book Publishing and eight Wesley Owen branches. Scottish book distributor John Ritchie Ltd, a subsidiary of The Lord’s Work Trust, has purchased STL Distribution and its Carlisle properties. A further six Wesley Owen stores are being acquired by Christian Literature Crusade, while discussions are ongoing to save the remaining 26 branches through local groups.

UK: Christian Radio Goes National | 27th Feb 2010
For years, Christian radio stations in the United Kingdom were prevented from airing nationally, but now two Christian broadcasting groups are doing just that. United Christian Broadcasters operates on nearly every continent to make Christian radio and television available even in closed countries. At the end of last year the group finally realized a 23-year vision to bring national Christian radio across the UK.
Almost simultaneously Premier Radio - that had been operating as a local station in London since 1990 - was granted a national digital license to broadcast throughout Britain. This has been an historic victory after facing major challenges since the long journey first began. UCB’s Ian Mackie said there were many times when he was ready to give up on the vision, but a significant word from the Lord kept him going.
After 23 years, Mackie’s persistence has finally paid off when he was told by Ofcom, the British radio authority, that he’d finally been granted a national digital radio license to begin Dec. 1. His story acts as an inspiration to many of what one man’s perseverance to fulfill God’s vision for his life can achieve.

Urbana 2009: Incarnational Mission | 26th Feb 2010
Worldwide Evangelical student movement InterVarsity’s 22nd missions’ conference - Urbana 09 - finished on the last day of December 2009 in St Louis, USA. Over the final five days of December, 17,000 students, staff, supporters and missions agencies gathered there to worship, pray, and consider the theme ‘He dwells among us’.
One of the organisers stated, “A few weeks ago we asked you to pray for Urbana – that delegates would be challenged by the spiritual and physical needs of the world. Thank you for your prayers – God has been mightily at work here. We have been challenged to see mission as incarnational, following the model Jesus set before us. Thousands of students have committed or re-committed their lives to Christ; thousands more have declared their intention to serve in cross-cultural mission.”
Over the years Urbana has proved to be an event where many young university students from all over the world are given a vision for missionary service. In these days it is particularly students from the Third World who are responding to the challenge of Christ.
