During COVID-19 lockdowns, SAT-7’s ability to resource and encourage viewers in their own homes became vital as on-the-ground organisations were forced to scale back. Nicoletta Michael, SAT-7’s Development Manager, shares how new partnerships have developed and how working together can maximise the impact of all.

Everyday experiences of isolation are something that all of us have become familiar with since the arrival of COVID-19. Middle East and North African (MENA) nations have been affected too, although isolation in other ways is a daily reality that many of the region’s Christians know only too well. Cairo-born George Makeen, SAT-7’s Arabic Channels Programming Director, explains how this isolation came about, how media is overcoming it, and what Christians in the West can learn from their brothers and sisters.

As SAT-7 celebrates 24 years of sharing God’s love and hope in the Middle East and North Africa, SAT-7 CEO Rita El-Mounayer shares a special message for Pentecost.

These are challenging days, but we have hope – and we are reminded of that hope during Easter. SAT-7 CEO shares her thoughts for Good Friday and Easter.

SAT-7 CEO Rita El-Mounayer shares how the pandemic is reshaping life at the ministry and how church leaders and audiences across the MENA are inspiring hope

As Palm Sunday approaches and Christians across the world remain in isolation due to the pandemic, SAT-7 CEO Rita El-Mounayer shares a message of encouragement, reminding us to pray for one another and allow our lives to be shaped by God through this experience.

I want to encourage you all, as we follow health advice from our governments and international health institutions to also take the time to boost your spiritual health. Pray – remember where our hope and our strength are found. How God is faithful to us in dark days and that in everything we do and in everything that happens to us, we are not alone. He is with us.

Here’s a message of love from our CEO, Rita El-Mounayer: “We know that True Love heals, the love of God heals hearts and restores relationships. He wants everyone to know that He loves them absolutely”
