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 was under construction from autumn 2003 until May 2008. Celebration of the inauguration of the new facility was held on May 26th, 2008. The entire radio station construction project is being funded through donations. Finnish volunteers, with the help of local labor and FEBC International staff built it from the ground up.

 Monday, 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.
