A new live program for Arab children is engaging young viewers through Bible stories, sketches, and call-in quizzes. In His Image, which is filmed at SAT-7’s Egypt studio, provides a safe and fun-filled experience for young viewers to learn lessons from Scripture and grow in faith. Each weekly episode is attracting over 100 calls from young viewers eager to participate live on air.
“The kids pay attention to everything we say so they can answer the questions we have in the episode,” said presenter Tia. “One viewer tried to call us 99 times but couldn’t reach us because of the large number of other callers.”
The children who do get through and answer questions correctly have their name written on a special board in the studio, and gifts are sent to five winners.
In one episode, viewers were asked to describe what a strong person is like. “Hi, my name is Clara, and I love you so much. I think a strong person is one who forgives and helps others,” one young caller said.
Each episode of In His Image opens with the three presenters, Tia, Kareem, and Sammy, sharing stories from their own experiences to explain the topic.
Tia and Kareem perform a sketch and then seek wisdom from Sammy on the subject. In one recent episode, Tia tried to find out what was in Kareem’s heart, but as much as she tried, it was impossible. Sammy then explained that only God knows people’s hearts and how a person’s heart can deceive them unless they purify themselves through communication with the Lord.
Sammy told the story of King Saul when he defied God’s commands. “Even people themselves are sometimes tricked by their own desires and have the wrong motivations,” he said.
Through the drama sketches and Bible stories shared on the program, In His Image is helping children apply ancient truths to their everyday lives in the modern world.
Many Arab parents send messages of support to SAT-7 KIDS, thanking the channel for its positive impact in their children’s lives. “I love you because my daughters learned the teachings of the Holy Bible from you,” wrote Samira.
“SAT-7 KIDS, may the Lord be glorified,” wrote Mona. “Just so you know, I am a grandmother and my grandchildren watch your programs. Your influence is truly remarkable. May the Lord Jesus protect and keep you.”
