God’s reach is limitless. When viewers experience hardships that hinder their ability to watch shows that share the Gospel, God still provides. Shida from Iran shared her testimony about repentance and how it all began with a damaged television.

Shida shared, “My television had no picture, but I listened to the audio of the SAT-7 program Sanctuary of the Heart, which touched my heart.” Shida still longed to learn more about Jesus and therefore continued to listen to the message despite the limitations she faced with her television.

She continued, “During the program, we worshipped the holy and just God. The glorious God was with us, and He gave me assurance.” This was the perfect opportunity for Shida to experience love from the living God.

“That same day, I repented of my sins, and the next morning, God spoke to me and told me the good news of my salvation, saying, ‘Your faith has saved you.’ I thank God and may His name be glorified in Jesus Christ,” Shida said. A faulty television didn’t stand in the way of her salvation!

Thank you for partnering with SAT-7 to share the Gospel with viewers like Shida in the Middle East and North Africa. Your support is making a lasting impact.
