Month of December, 2009

 

Broadcasts mark a major step for
indigenous Turkish Christian channel.

On January 1, 2010, SAT-7 TÜRK begins its first broadcasts as a full member of the SAT-7 network of channels.  For the last six years the channel has operated as an independent ministry under the name “TURK-7.”

The SAT-7 PARS team is very excited because this month they have three live programs scheduled (for December 17, 24 and 31).  These will be the first ever “live” programs on SAT-7 PARS.  Technically this is challenging, and the team asks for your prayers as they finalize the details.  The shows will be in a teaching format. The first will take place on the eve of the channel’s first anniversary, the second will be on Christmas Eve, and the third on New Year’s Eve—dates which will lead to a lot of good discussions about the channel, Christmas, and about starting a New Year with God as our focus!

Excerpt from Uplink:  Did you know that SAT-7’s four channels, SAT-7 ARABIC, PARS (Persian), KIDS (Arabic) and TÜRK, are watched in more than 70 nations (including 44 in Europe and more than 20 across North Africa, the Gulf, and the greater Middle East including Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan and even Tajikistan)? This area encompasses more than 500 million people who speak dialects of Arabic, Farsi or Turkish.

Children love music, and songs are one of the best ways that children learn verses from the Bible.  In the new SAT-7 KIDS program “On an Errand” (Ruhna Mishwar) young viewers are taken to new worlds of music.
