Now in its third year of broadcast, My Church in Algeria<\/em> [a program in the Kabyle Berber language] is reaching thousands of remote communities across North Africa.<\/p>\n A secluded Protestant church in the Algerian mountains has quickly grown to over 1600 members. Daughter churches are now meeting in different cities to accommodate numbers.<\/p>\n Program producer Samia Jallali Kessai is heartened by the commitment of many members: \u201cIn the winter, it is very difficult to find a way up to the mountains. People have to wake up at 5:00am to get transport. The church service starts at 9:30am, but by 8:00am you will find that the church is full and many cannot find a seat.\u201d<\/p>\n Every Sunday, SAT-7 broadcasts from the church. My Church in Algeria<\/em> is one of the few programs broadcast in Berber on SAT-7 Arabic. A viewer from Morocco says, \u201cBefore we start our cell group church in my house on Sundays, we watch My Church in Algeria<\/em> because it is in Berber.\u201d Samia helps subtitle the recordings into Arabic: \u201cWe want to make it available to as many people as possible. It is particularly exciting as there are many communities in Morocco, Tunisia, Libya, and Somalia where Berber is better understood than Arabic.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00bb Read full story<\/a>.

SAT-7 also broadcasts a documentary series featuring the stories of Algerian men and women who have come to faith in Christ<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Source: SAT-7 News and Prayer, August 2015 Now in its third year of broadcast, My Church in Algeria [a program in the Kabyle Berber language] is reaching thousands of remote communities across North Africa.
