Over 80% of SAT-7 programs are produced in the Middle East by Middle East Christians. With over 300 million homes in the region having a satellite dish, God has opened doors for the Gospel to be shared in the comfort and safety of livings rooms. While programs provide believers with fellowship, encouragement, discipleship and theological education, unbelievers are exposed to God’s unconditional love and given a clear presentation of the Gospel through culturally relevant, appropriately presented and positive Christian programming that makes God’s love visible! We believe that this year will be a year that God moves in the hearts of SAT-7 viewers in this critical area of the world!
