An estimated 50 million children in the Arab world woke up this Monday to an early Christmas gift–a new Christian television station with 24-hour program designed just for them.
SAT-7 KIDS is the third channel offered by SAT-7, a Christian satellite network made by and for people living in the Middle East, and the first and only channel dedicated to locally made Christian programming targeted to Arabic children.
The station covers the entire Arab world, 22 countries and five time zones. More than 100 million children under age 15 live in that area, and half have access to satellite TV.
“I had tears in my eyes when the KIDS channel came on the air,” said Rita El Mounayer, director of Arabic programming for SAT-7. “I cried because of God’s blessings. I was so happy to see the SAT-7 KIDS channel finally on the air. It’s amazing to see it, and amazing that God uses imperfect vessels like us to bring about things like this.”
I have been praying for something like this to bring hope to the those in the Middle East! Thanks be to God!
a welcome response to the filth of Hamas TV and its child ‘martyrs’.
Gordian; agreed. Lets hope hard-core Muslims don’t violently protest or otherwise forcibly shut down this effort. Believe it or not, they can be even less tolerant than Bible believing Christians!
Well, they gotta fill the airtime with something since Farfour was murdered by that Zionist operative.
