God often works in ways that exceed our expectations. What begins as a small act of faith can, by His grace, grow into something far greater than we could imagine.

Behzad, a SAT-7 viewer in the MENA, recently shared an encouraging testimony of what God is doing through a small group of believers gathering around His Word. “We used to be three young people gathering together to read the Word,” Behzad said. “Now we are over twenty, and there is no room for us to sit at home anymore.”

What started as a simple Bible study has become a thriving community of believers seeking to grow in their faith together. Yet Behzad is quick to point out that this growth is not the result of human effort or strategy.

“Don’t think we have strayed from faith,” he explained. “On the contrary, God has held our hands, and a whole fertile land beyond human imagination is bearing fruit, by the grace of Christ, not through human effort.” When believers faithfully follow Him, He can transform small beginnings into a harvest that brings glory to His name.

Stories like Behzad’s are a reminder that God is continuing to build His Church across the Middle East and North Africa. Through the faithful witness of believers, lives are being transformed, communities are growing, and new disciples are discovering the hope found in Christ. Thank you for supporting SAT-7.
