ICC Note: Christian Broadcasting Network is working to share the gospel and spread literacy in Middle East refugee camps. In addition to these broadcasts, SAT-7 is planning to launch a radio academy to help with education in these same camps. The project has been in the planning for two years and is now ready to launch. Literacy and Christian ministry go hand in hand so that people will have the capability to read the bible for themselves.

02/16/2017 Middle East (Christian Daily): SAT-7 broadcasts its programs in 25 Muslim-majority countries in the Middle East. Network official Rex Rogers said they try not to release political comments to avoid jeopardizing their ministry in the region and because they are trying to help their viewers and the other people there, Christian Broadcasting Network details.

Aside from SAT-7’s existing ministry in the Middle East, the network is also planning to launch a new program called SAT-7 ACADEMY, which consists of educational programs for broadcast in refugee camps. They have been gearing up for the project for two years now.

“We’re just announcing it now and have been preparing for about two years,” SAT-7 said. “It is another channel, it is in the Arabic language, it is aimed at that lost generation…of children, whether they’re in camps or wherever they are, who have been out of school maybe four, five, six years already.”

In addition, Rogers explained that Christian missionaries care about literacy because they want people to be able to read the Bible on their own. He added that literacy and education can help lead people to more productive lives.

While literacy is currently among the major goals of SAT-7, the network said its ultimate mission is to bring Christ’s salvation to other people. In light of this plan, Roger is asking all Christians to pray that their upcoming educational program will succeed.
