Dish of Hope
What is the Dish of Hope?
It’s a time to get together with friends over some food whilst raising money for SAT-7 to extend teaching programmes that help and train house church leaders in Iran. So your meal will nourish the growing house churches in this severely restricted country! Celebrate Norouz - Persian New Year (20 March-1 April 2013)You can arrange a Dish of Hope meal at any time but what better opportunity than the time when Iranians themselves gather each year to celebrate their own, centuries-old New Year festival? This year SAT-7 PARS will be re-opening their refurbished UK studio and broadcasting a special live Norouz show on 20 March. Our goal is to disciple house church leaders in IranMany Iranian people are turning to Christ and there is a growing underground movement meeting through house churches. But most house church leaders have no training, no theological books and no Bible. Often there is only one source of spiritual food – our Farsi language satellite TV channel, SAT-7 PARS. The Dish of Hope Fundraising pack contains:
- Event checklist to help with the planning of your event Many of these resources are provided on a DVD so you can customise for your event.

"Your channel is one of the main sources helping me to grow in my Christian faith. You are doing a wonderful job during these dark days in Iran when many people are looking for the truth and a Saviour." A viewer in Iran |
viewer quotes"May God bless you all. We ask Jesus to extend His hand, as nothing is too difficult for Him. We pray that He would give comfort to victims’ families in Aleppo and all of Syria. And we pray that He would stop this storm." A Syrian viewer of 'Just for You'"I'm Maya, 3 and a half years old from Amman, watching your bedtime story every night and can't go to bed before listening to your stories. Mama also watching with me." From a young child in Jordan"In a remote village in Afghanistan a Christian worker met an Afghan man who invited him to his house. There he switched on the TV, showed him SAT-7 PARS and said, “This is where I get my food from.” This man also invites his friends to come and watch SAT-7 PARS in this remote village." A viewer in Afghanistan"May God bless your work! This was a very sweet episode! May the programme make a big difference in our country, in the name of Jesus!" A Syrian viewer of 'Just for You'"Your programmes provide such a wonderful opportunity for me to explain to my children what we believe as Christians in ways they understand. It really is a precious thing to have this channel." A MOTHER IN TURKEY"I am from Morocco. I want to serve Jesus with all my heart. Thank you for being the source of encouragement and my spiritual growth. God bless you." A woman in Morocco"Five years ago I started seeking for the truth in different religions. I was lost, confused and wanted to reach out to God. I really needed comfort and peace. Thank God I found peace and the truth through the programmes and the songs on my favourite channel SAT-7." A woman from Saudi Arabia"I came to know Christ through your programmes. I tried to talk about Jesus to my family but they didn’t want to listen to me. So I turn the TV on during your programmes and, without saying a word, allow your programmes to talk to my family about Jesus Christ. And now they sit and watch the programmes!" An Iranian woman from Tabriz"Hello to you dear SAT-7 PARS team. I would like to thank you for all your nice programmes. I came to Christ a few months ago and your teaching programmes helped me to improve in my Christian faith. I am thinking of getting baptised and I would like you to advise me where can I go to get baptised." A SAT-7 PARS viewer"Finally, a Syrian programme has come to us! May God bless you and use you to the glory of His name." A viewer of 'Just for You'"I am touched by the sermons that I’m watching every Friday. I’m not able to go to church but God has opened a door for me to attend a church service in my house every week! I never thought that one day I would see bold Algerians worshipping the Lord and not afraid to be shown on TV." An Algerian viewer"We have a lot of believers in Israel who watch SAT-7 and we want you to pray with us for the salvation of many people in the Holy Land." A viewer in Israel"My son loves many of your programmes. I can leave him to watch SAT-7 KIDS without any fear that he will see information, advice or ideas that are not from the heart of God." A mother of SAT-7 KIDS viewer"I came across your website by chance. I never knew that Christianity is such a beautiful religion. Your site has helped correct many of the misconceptions and wrong ideas I had about the Christian faith and about Christ. I desperately need to know more about Christianity to be delivered from the aimless and hopeless life I presently live." A viewer in Morocco |
