SAT-7 celebrates anonymous donor pledge

SAT-7 has received a welcome boost to its finances after an anonymous donor pledged to triple all first-time donations made to the Christian satellite channel between now and January 15.

The same donor has also agreed to double all gifts from current donors, meaning a potential donation of nearly £1m.

SAT-7 broadcasts Christian programmes via satellite into largely Arabic countries in the Middle East and North Africa to support the Christian minority and to present the Gospel in an accessible way to the wider population.

It said it was among the many ministries that had seen a significant shortfall in giving as a result of the global financial crisis and welcomed the donation as a “wonderful provision from God”.

“This is an opportunity we cannot miss!” said Terence Ascott, chief executive of SAT-7.

“During this Christmas season, as you wrap gifts for your loved ones, remember the children of the Middle East and North Africa, untold numbers of whom have yet to hear the Christmas story.

“If you have never given before, I urge you to pray about what you might be able to give for the sake of millions of SAT-7 viewers.

“If you are a current supporter, I ask that you remain faithful and even consider making a special gift at this time so that it may be doubled.”
