Christian satellite programming in Iran and Afghanistan has resulted in numerous professions of faith in Christ. Many receiving the broadcasts know little about Jesus, but often follow up with questions by phone.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne call came from a young man in Afghanistan,\u201d said Panayiotis [Keenan], the director of SAT-7 PARS, broadcasting via Yahsat, a private satellite company based in one of the Gulf States.<\/p>\n
The young man had many questions about Jesus. \u201cLike millions around him, up until watching SAT-7 PARS, he didn\u2019t have a clue who Jesus is. But he was deeply unsatisfied with his life and beliefs and instinctively knew there must be something better.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe said he was stunned by the love and truth he was witnessing on SAT-7 PARS,\u201d Panayiotis recounted. \u201cHe was so impressed by Jesus that he wanted to know where he lived so he might meet him.\u201d<\/p>\n
A few days later, the young Afghani called again, this time with a friend. The friend had also been moved by the broadcast.<\/p>\n
\u201cA week later, the first man called again. This time there were 25 young men crammed into a tiny apartment, asking questions, listening to the counselor\u2019s answers.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAll 25 prayed to receive Christ in unison!\u201d Panayiotis exulted. \u201cIncredible, a miracle\u2026a true God thing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Panayiotis believes there are many more small groups gathering in secret as they listen to the truth beamed to their televisions from SAT-7. \u201cThey are anxious to meet other Christians, start their own church and want to find a pastor,\u201d he noted. \u201cBecause finding a local, trained pastor is often impossible, we assure them that we will not leave them alone and urge them to watch the many teaching programs on SAT-7 PARS.\u201d<\/p>\n
