As fresh violence devastates northern Syria, the children’s worship program Family of Jesus is uniting its young viewers in heartfelt prayer for the country. Will you join SAT-7 KIDS viewers in crying out to God?

In December 2014, a SAT-7 KIDS crew visited Iraqi Kurdistan, where they planned to tell the stories of child refugees who had fled from ISIS. But in a camp in Erbil, something even more profound took place. Presenter Essam Nagy met a little girl who would change his life and inspire millions around the world.

Many children in the Middle East and North Africa are growing up without learning to show tolerance to those different from them. This gives them little chance to challenge extremism, or to become peacemakers in their divided, unequal region. But we can change this – and SAT-7 KIDS is making a program that will.

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.
