I am deeply grateful for your precious prayers and encouraging programs. There is no church here, but thanks to you I never feel alone."

As we look ahead to Father’s Day, we pause to honor the sacred calling of fatherhood – a role that echoes the love, wisdom, and compassion of our Heavenly Father. Across Scripture, we find rich truth about how God calls fathers to lead, teach, nurture, and reflect His heart within their homes.
At SAT-7, we are privileged to witness this divine pattern unfold in homes throughout the Middle East and North Africa. Thanks to your partnership in ministry – both in prayer and giving – our Christ-centered broadcasts and streaming programs are helping fathers step into their God-given roles with courage and grace.
In celebration of fathers everywhere, we’ve prepared a short devotional titled “A Father’s Heart: A Biblical Devotional on Teaching, Loving, and Caring for Children.” It’s a seven-day journey through Scripture, drawing from both the Old and New Testaments, that highlights the powerful ways a father can mirror God’s love. This seven-day reflection encourages fathers to teach diligently (Deuteronomy 6), discipline with love (Proverbs 3), and extend compassion like our Heavenly Father (Psalm 103, Luke 15).
These are not just biblical ideals. Through SAT-7’s programs, fathers from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds are being transformed by the Gospel, and your partnership makes this possible.
To every ministry partner who gives and prays: Thank you. You are not only helping bring the Good News to viewers across the MENA region, but you’re also sowing seeds of faith into families where generational cycles of pain are being broken by the love of Christ.
We invite you to download the devotional and share it with a father, mentor, or friend. May it bless you as much as your generosity has blessed countless others.

In the past, I didn’t believe in God, but recently I was baptized. My mother-in-law is not a Christian but supported me in becoming a Christian. We were both watching your channel when you invited us for a prayer. And she lifted up her hands and prayed with you. I was very surprised and impressed. You are making really good and effective programs. The Lord works in places you cannot always see."
