Curious About Christianity?
Questions about faith, requests for Bibles, and messages of thanks and encouragement make up most of the feedback SAT-7 TÜRK receives from its viewers. Surprisingly, however, many of these come from non-Christians.

Hovan* grew up in a strict religious environment in Iran, but he never believed in God.
