WELCOME TO LENT PRAYER 2022
As Jesus prepared Himself to face trial and death alone, His commandment to His disciples in the garden of Gethsemane was simple: to watch and pray. To keep watch with Him and stay alert. To pray for Him in His time of need.
This Lent, we extend the same invitation to you: watch and pray. Over the next 40 days, will you keep watch and pray over SAT-7's viewers in the Middle East, wherever and whoever they are? In whatever circumstances they may be facing?
As you read these words, many people are watching SAT-7. They might have stumbled across SAT-7 while flicking through the channels. Maybe it's someone who has watched for a while, and is now ready to ask their questions about faith. They might be hurting, in need of a friend. They may be young or old, male or female, a speaker of Arabic, Turkish or Persian, watching on satellite television, mobile phone or social media - but somehow, in this moment, they have found SAT-7. And they are ready for an encounter with Jesus.
We might never know who these unseen viewers are. But God knows them by name. He made them, He loves them, and He wants to draw them closer to Him. Right now.
As they watch SAT-7, we pray. PRAY FOR REVELATION. PRAY FOR RENEWAL. PRAY FOR AN ENCOUNTER.

Each week during Lent, we'll pray for a different group of viewers:
THE FINDERS: Those who have stumbled across SAT-7 for the first time.
THE HURTING: Viewers with physical, emotional or spiritual pain who need a touch from Jesus
THE SEEKERS: People who are searching for Jesus and asking earnest questions
THE CHILDREN: SAT-7’s young viewers, many of whom are growing up in difficult circumstances
THE SCROLLERS: Social media users who are finding a safe haven in SAT-7’s online platforms
THE DISCIPLES: Believers in the MENA who are in need of discipleship and fellowship.

HOST A PRAYER WATCH EVENT
Gather with your small group or church for an hour to watch SAT-7 and pray for viewers together... We have a few ideas on how you can host your own Prayer Watch event, below.
You can download our Prayer Watch event pack with more helpful content, by clicking here.
Choose a day and time for your event. This could be a standalone event, or think about whether you could spare an hour from your weekly small group, or take over your church’s regular prayer meeting. This event would work equally well in-person using a big screen, or online over Zoom.
If you are planning a Prayer Watch event, please let us know by emailing us at: respond@sat7uk.org
Play SAT-7’s channels live during your event – visit sat7uk.org/lent-resources to find all the channels’ live streams online. Play 15 minutes each of SAT-7 PARS, SAT-7 ARABIC, SAT-7 TÜRK and SAT-7 KIDS, and either mute or turn the volume down while you pray. You may not understand the language, but you can still pray over the broadcasts!
Look out for the clock icon throughout the prayer guide for ideas on what programmes are on at which times – or just tune in and see what’s on. Maybe it will be a children’s animated series, a discipleship talk show, a Christian film, a church service or a documentary.
Spend the hour in prayer for those who are watching SAT-7 right at that moment. You could use some of the prayer points from the prayer guide, or download printable prayer sheets at sat7uk.org/lent-resources. Start each 15-minute channel segment by reading out the accompanying testimony from the prayer sheet, and then move into a time of prayer.
