"One in every three people who contact SAT-7 PARS tell us they have made a personal decision to follow Christ. Another third have questions, and then go on to make such a decision to follow Christ. That's two out of every three. It's really amazing. God is at work!"

(Easton, Md.)—According to a DeMoss Newsarticle, SAT-7's new 24-hour Farsi-language satellite television channel SAT-7 PARS is exceeding expectations in Iran. The article quotes a Persian church leader as saying that SAT-7 PARS is "the most significant thing in Iran today."

Another Christian (name withheld for security reasons) said, "I hear people say, 'everyone is watching SAT-7.' One in every three people who contact SAT-7 PARS tell us they have made a personal decision to follow Christ. Another third have questions, and then go on to make such a decision to follow Christ. That's two out of every three. It's really amazing. God is at work!"

It is noteworthy that the programs televised in Iran are not western programs, but rather are created by and for the Iranian people.
