"Muslim nation gets first Christian TV channel"
"Turkey's Christian population has dwindled to less than 200,000, but their voice just got louder. For the first time, a Christian television channel is now broadcasting on Turkey's government-regulated satellite, which reaches more than 50 million viewers. Produced by Turkish Christians, the channel SAT-7 TÜRK streamed online for 360 hours last year; it's expecting to expand its airtime significantly under the new deal. "So many things have miraculously fallen into place over the past few months that it is impossible to miss the hand of God." said Terence Ascott, founder and chief executive officer of SAT-7. Open Doors put Turkey back on its 2015 list of countries where it's hardest to be a Christian. But in January, prime minister Ahmet Davutoglu approved the building of the first Christian church in Istanbul in 100 years."
This is awesome news, I have been using the Open Doors prayer calender for a few months, and recommend you do as well. It's a truly good feeling to see your prayers being answered!!!
