Summer is a great time to be a fly on the wall at SAT-7 KIDS. As children take a break from school, the channel’s team give their all to capture viewers’ attention – while also preparing for the coming year. In this exciting season, Channel Manager Andrea El-Mounayer took time out to share her plans.

In a region where their voices often go unheard, Stories in the Attic will help children understand their rights – in the light of God’s love for them. How will this new program empower Middle Eastern children? By sharing something every child loves to hear – stories.

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 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.

A live episode of SAT-7 worship program Keep on Singing became a focus for intercession for a country that is reeling from turmoil and conflict.

A special episode titled “I’m loved” of the worship program Keep on Singing featured the Heart of Jesus children’s choir. The episode was well-received by viewers who sent comments to the show to commend the children and the program for the special message shared on God’s love and acceptance.

In a gender-bias-breaking television moment, Rita El-Mounayer appeared on the SAT-7 ARABIC show Is it Important to be Christian?, representing the entire SAT-7 network as its CEO and sharing a powerful message of Christian unity and tolerance.
