SAT-7 staff rejoice as peace plan ends political stalemate in Beirut.

Nicosia, Cyprus- Lebanese Government and opposition groups recently announced a deal to end an 18-month political deadlock that had erupted into violent clashes earlier in the month. SAT-7 has a team of around 20 full-time Lebanese personnel, plus free-lancers, who live and work in Beirut. When the fighting began these team members asked for Christians around the world to pray for them and their country.

The Second Annual Day of Prayer for SAT-7, its Audiences and Partners will take place on June 1, 2008

Nicosia, Cyprus- Jesus said, "if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." While this challenge from Christ seems daunting for us, in Egypt local Christians have a story that vividly illustrates the principle.
