In the aftermath of February’s devastating earthquakes in Türkiye and Syria, Turkish Christians have been showing God’s love to survivors of the catastrophe. One moving example are the members of İzmir Işık Church in the west of Türkiye, who drove 14 hours east to cook meals, distribute clothes, and spend time with those impacted by the earthquakes in Antakya.

Six months have passed since the tragic death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman, at the hands of the Iranian authorities. Against a backdrop of government oppression and police brutality, passionate protesters in the country continue to call for freedom. As Iranian women and girls seek a brighter future, SAT-7 has been amplifying their stories and prayers to the nation.

A new SAT-7 TV series is part of a major five-year project that aims to help women and girls in the Arab world enjoy the freedom and dignity they deserve as people made equally with men by God.

“In our community, we agreed that our daughter will marry our neighbour once she’s mature. But when I saw the early marriage clip, and I remembered what happened to me, I gained a little bit of strength to fight for my daughter and stop what happened to me happening to her.”

Ali Safieldeen, a Lebanese civil defense worker who was part of a rescue mission to Syria returned to the program to share a follow up story, and a heartbreaking story from his own life that urges him to do the work he does.

Three weeks have passed since two disastrous earthquakes struck south-eastern Türkiye and a week since two major aftershocks. Throughout this time, SAT-7 TÜRK has been a vital resource for its viewers, especially women and children, by providing spiritual, psychological, and practical support and encouragement.
