A spiritual revolution is underway in Afghanistan and Iran, the Holy Spirit is at work. Thousands of people are coming to Christ as they watch Christian satellite television, even in regions controlled by the Taliban and Al-Qaeda.

SAT-7, one of the largest Christian satellite broadcasters for all the Middle East and founded in 1996 have five full-time channels making God’s love visible from Morocco to Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran and into Central Asia.

The television counseling center received a call from a young man in Afghanistan who told the telephone counselor what he saw and heard on SAT-7 was disturbing, as it wasn’t at all like what he was taught; they had a joy and peace about them that he found attractive; not evil or deceiving, but loving. He didn’t have a clue who Jesus was, but somehow knew there must be something better than obligations of his beliefs and terror practices he witnessed of radicals. He told the counselor he was stunned and wanted to learn more.

A week later he called again, and this time there were 25 young men crammed into a small apartment. The man asked questions and listened to the Gospel with the amazing news that God loved them and they could be forgiven of their sins. After the counselor answered all their questions, all 25 received Christ, praying over the phone in unison.

Following another week, they called again and now there were 50, all influenced by SAT-7, listening to the counselor and, as before, they questioned all they had been taught and were profoundly moved by the character of Christ.

Miracles do happen.
