Welcome to Team Spotlight, a new feature in News & Prayer, which takes you behind the scenes of the SAT-7 UK team so you can get to know us a bit better! We call ourselves ‘Comms’ for short, to save four valuable syllables. Which is ironic, really, because we are the team that love to speak and type a deluge […]
Studio Spotlight: Beirut, Lebanon
Here, in the first Studio Spotlight, we visit Lebanon’s capital, Beirut, which hosts SAT-7’s largest studio. SAT-7’s first studio in Lebanon opened in 1996, and for many years operated out of a rented space at the Baptist seminary in Beirut. A much-needed move in 2014 brought big changes. Now, perched on a hillside looking out over sprawling Beirut to the […]

For those who received a Christian upbringing, complete with youth weekends away, Bible study groups and church worship events, it can be easy to take all this for granted.

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.

Little Girl’s Favourite Show Changes Family
Hovan* grew up in a strict religious environment in Iran, but he never believed in God.

Healing is a Miraculous Work of Art
At SAT-7, we receive many testimonies. To hear of how SAT-7 has played a part in people’s journeys is always a privilege, but it is clear that God is at work in people’s lives long before they encounter our channels. Soroush*, a SAT-7 viewer from Iran, recently told us his incredible story, which begins with his discovering a piece of […]
Egypt’s Maher Fayez brings worship of the East to West Sussex
It’s not every night that a small church in a Worthing side street is filled with Middle Eastern melodies. But this was the night when Maher Fayez, Egypt’s best-known Christian musician and worship leader and a sometime presenter on SAT-7 ARABIC, was in town.
