“Nora…. hey, Nora! Is that you? Oh, I’m so excited! You don’t know me, but I know you. You’re one of my favourite presenters on SAT-7 TÜRK!”

“There were always many Christians in Türkiye, but when I was a young Christian there were no books. But now in Türkiye there is this channel that is an essential resource and guides young people,” a church leader in Türkiye recently shared. Through SAT-7 TÜRK today, believers in Türkiye have access not only to books and television, but also to digital media to support them in their faith.

As Turkish society continues to be shocked by high numbers of femicides, SAT-7 is reaching out to vulnerable women with a simple message: you are not alone. A second series of a powerful program offering support to them has launched, one year on from Türkiye’s troubling withdrawal from the Istanbul Convention.

The ringing of the phone breaks the silence of the SAT-7 TÜRK office, which is shut for the night. The answering machine picks up, and after the tone, a woman’s voice echoes through the silence.

A flight of stairs can seem like Mount Everest if you’re sitting in a wheelchair. Without sight, walking beside a busy road is like walking along the edge of a cliff. Everyday life suddenly becomes challenging when dealing with a disability. However, SAT-7 TÜRK’s program, Obstacle Overcomers, explores the lives beyond such limitations.

“I will make you fishers of men” – with these words Jesus called Simon and Andrew to follow Him. Is God calling Kerem, from Turkey, in a similar way today? After an encounter with a priest and repeated dreams, Kerem is looking for answers and has shared his story with SAT-7 TÜRK.

As the rest of the world seems to slow down over the summer, the SAT-7 TÜRK studio is a hive of activity. The seventh season of the Azeri program Pleasant Chat is almost complete and will continue to share the Good News with millions of Azeri people.

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.
