Shine a Light on Christian Faith and Heritage in Türkiye
As believers here in Northern Ireland, we understand the importance of standing firm in our Christian faith. Many have learned the need for resilience and perseverance. Today, I invite you to support an urgent project which will encourage our brothers and sisters in Türkiye, where Christians represent less than 0.2% of the population. And today, thanks to a special match funding opportunity for SAT-7 supporters in Northern Ireland, your impact will be doubled.
SAT-7 TÜRK is preparing to film a powerful new documentary series: Journey to the Roots: Minority Schools in Türkiye. Set for release in Autumn 2025, this four-part series will explore how Christian and minority schools help preserve culture, language and especially faith, in a secular and often hostile environment.
These schools are more than places of learning – they are lifelines for young believers and their families, nurturing identity and resilience in Christ.
“We must be connected and stand firm in true faith in Jesus Christ,” says Musa*, a SAT-7 TÜRK viewer. Musa’s words echo the longing of many isolated believers across Türkiye. This documentary will amplify the often muted voices of students, parents, and teachers. It will also bring the message of Christ’s love and unity to a wider audience in a nation where Christian witness is often misunderstood or silenced.
