In early May SAT-7 has began transmitting its first weekly live program from Egypt, one which takes the unique approach of utilizing a different host each week.  These hosts include a well-known Coptic Orthodox priest, several senior Evangelical pastors, and a well-respected Arab Christian counselor.  The program receives dozens of SMS texts each time it is broadcast along with many phone calls and emails.  Its Facebook site has generated over three thousand members in just a month. 

One of the program’s hosts is Rev. Dr. Sameh Maurice, senior pastor of the Kasr El Dobara church in Cairo.  He is excited about the show and satellite TV’s  potential to impact lives, “If you see most of the cities in the Arab world now, even homes in the poorest areas have satellite dishes and they are even more common than the refrigerators or ovens!  Satellite TV is everywhere.  The local church cannot do what the satellite can do these days.  So I praise God for an open heaven now and I think this is the door God has given us to reach the multitudes.”
