In the book “All I Ever Needed to Know I learned in Kindergarden” the author Robert Flugham says it was in his first class when he learned some of life’s most important lessons including:  share everything, play fair, don’t hit, etc.  Children in the first years of primary school learn lessons that last a lifetime.  In the new show “Soko and His Behavior” young Soko has many lessons to learn.  When he doesn’t act properly, giant puppet characters (a pen, a ruler and an eraser) help him learn the Godly way to act.  This is produced for SAT-7 KIDS by El Nehasy Group (Egypt).

Many cities, towns and even entire regions of the Middle East and North Africa are without a local church.  In these areas Christian satellite television broadcasts often serve as the only Churches.  For many years SAT-7 has broadcast church services of many denominations, but just recently the network started broadcasting a church service live from a different church every Sunday.  Having the services be “live” rather than pre-recorded helps the viewers feel what it’s really like in the service (including seeing the mistakes!).  In the future, SAT-7 hopes to add an interactive element to these services allowing viewers to ask some questions about what they are viewing.
