When Pedram* found out the tragic news that his sister in Iran had been shot and killed by an armed robber, he found himself depressed and living in constant fear. “My sister was only twenty-seven years old when a burglar shot her in a jewellery shop. I wept and grieved by her grave for forty days.”

For some in Iran, following Christ means persecution or death. Yet, for Masood*, following Christ is well worth the risk. Masood previously felt that life had little substance to offer, saying that he lived in a “purposeless, fake world.” That is, until he found a Bible and SAT-7.

While SAT-7’s main audience is Middle Easterners living in the Middle East, a growing diaspora in Europe are also benefitting from the ministry – and sharing it with others. Eli*, a Turkish-born Christian and ethnic-goods supermarket owner, living in London, has been growing in his faith with the help of SAT-7.

Amid the turmoil and threats of persecution, SAT-7 is helping Syrian Christians take comfort in Jesus. The encouraging words of women from war-torn Aleppo helped show viewers, in similar situations, that God is with them.
