Every month, SAT-7 PARS receives hundreds of messages from viewers in Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan. Their messages reflect the challenges they are going through – but also the support and encouragement they are finding through watching encouraging Christian programs and being in contact with SAT-7’s Audience Relations team.

Two special episodes of Needle and New Thread are breaking ground on the topic of gender equality in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), with on the ground reports, comments from viewers and special guests shining a light on the subject with a Christian perspective.

Christian children in the Middle East and North Africa may be isolated, marginalised, and even vulnerable to violence. They need strong roots to draw on in tough times – and to put these down, they need Bible knowledge. Now, a fun new SAT-7 KIDS campaign is providing the rich “soil” that they need.

Many Turkish viewers contact SAT-7 TÜRK’s Power of Prayer program with prayer requests. They also share testimonies of answered prayers, which are an incredible source of encouragement to the SAT-7 TÜRK staff.

In an effort to engage Persian-speaking children with stories about Jesus, the creative team at SAT-7 PARS are producing a new animated Bible series. These unique animations depicting the life of Christ are bound to draw the attention of children and adults alike.

Many children call SAT-7 KIDS show, Family of Jesus, to ask for prayer for healing. And sometimes, they call back  sharing amazing testimonies of hope and health. Rosaline, from Sohag, Egypt, is one of these children. In a special interview, she shared her story of a life-threatening illness, a phone call, and a miracle.
