About SAT-7

Making God's love visible in the Middle East and North Africa

For centuries in the Middle East, Christians have been isolated, Christianity has been misunderstood and the Good News of Jesus Christ has been silenced.

The rapid growth of satellite television in the region has given Christians in the region an unprecedented opportunity to alter the situation radically. SAT-7, a unique, not-for-profit channel has done just that, providing a strategic breakthrough for Christian ministry.

All over the Middle East and North Africa people are switching on to SAT-7. They find Christian television programmes in Arabic that relate to their culture – and help to change their lives.

People in Great Britain and Ireland who want to pray for the needs of the Church in the region and support the work of SAT-7 with prayer and financial gifts can do so through SAT-7 Trust, which is based in Chippenham, Wiltshire. SAT-7 itself works from production studios in Egypt and Lebanon, coordinated by the International Centre in Cyprus.

About 500 million people live in the Middle East and North Africa, 17 million are Christian. Independent research indicates that around 10 million people regularly watch SAT-7 broadcasts. Our running costs are equivalent to spending just £5 per viewing family per year.

All of SAT-7’s programmes are culturally appropriate and are written and produced by Arabic-speaking Christians from within the Middle East. It is our prayer that we will see a growing Church in this region, confident in Christian faith and witness, serving the community and contributing to the good of society and culture.

"I live in an area where I am totally cut off from any kind of Christian fellowship, teaching, and guidance. Praise God I found out about SAT-7, which provides me with what I was missing. God bless you." SAT-7 viewer living in the Gulf
