The largest network of secular satellite channels in Iran is owned by a wealthy family that lives outside Iran. This network consists of over eighteen 24\/7 channels that cover every interest from movies to sports and from channels dedicated to children to MTV-like music. Two years ago, we started praying for the salvation of this family. Last summer, Soleiman and his wife Sayeh, co-owners of this network, accepted Christ and contacted us. Sayeh explains:<\/p>\n
\u201cHaving experienced the power of God\u2019s transformation in our lives and being inspired by Pastor Hormoz [of Iran Alive Ministries], my husband and I decided to start a new Christian television station. We had the finances; we had the know-how.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut as we prayed about starting this Christian TV station, God spoke to my heart: \u2018Sayeh, do you want to glorify yourself or me? If you are looking to glorify me, you don\u2019t need to start a new station. I already have one: Iran Alive (Network 7). I want you to work with my network.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
