MENA (MNN) — A Christian media is making it easier than ever for people to learn about Christ — no registration, no fees, just free, high-quality content accessible from anywhere.
In countries where mosques dominate the skylines, people still have the freedom to choose what fills their screens. Responding to changing needs, SAT-7 has expanded into a new format to reach more people with the hope of Christ. Now, viewers can even watch The Chosen on the platform!
People across the Middle East and North Africa can now grow in their faith through SAT-7 PLUS. The ministry has gone beyond satellite television, offering a streaming platform accessible on any device — like Netflix, Disney+, or Hulu. But there’s a key difference. Joe Willey from SAT-7 explains:
“What is unique about SAT-7 PLUS is that it is free. And so this is free Christian content across the Middle East and North Africa, and it can be accessed around the world with the SAT-7 PLUS app.”

Satellite TV is widespread in MENA, but so are smartphones and tablets. The region has nearly the same access to mobile technology as the West. So, it’s the Gospel brought not just to their homes, but even closer — right into their pockets.
“You can just download SAT-7 PLUS from your favorite app store, whether that’s Apple, whether that’s Google. Right now, the programming is available in Persian and Arabic,” Willey says.
Another standout feature of the platform is its availability. Users don’t need to log in or create an account, crucial in regions where being a Christian can be dangerous.
“There are places in the world — in the Middle East and North Africa specifically — where it is dangerous to be a Christian,” Willey says. “So we are trying to be mindful of security and ensure that people can safely access SAT-7 PLUS.”
So far, nearly 1.3 million unique users have visited the platform. And they’re not left to navigate their spiritual journey alone. A dedicated team is ready to respond to questions, go deeper with viewers, and pray alongside them.
“SAT-7 doesn’t just broadcast and then leave people to figure things out. We are also there for them on their faith journey,” explains Willey.
Viewers can explore a variety of content, including discipleship programs, films, children’s shows, and more — all pointing to Christ and freely accessible. Joe Willey encourages to support the SAT-7 ministry in prayer:
“Pray that SAT-7 — its producers and leadership — will have discernment to know which programs to create and which to air. Pray that God would move mightily in the hearts of people across the MENA region, so they may come to an understanding and true knowledge of Jesus!”
