“We are thrilled that our Bible Society center is being used to its utmost capacity,” said Mike Bassous, General Secretary of the Bible Society in Lebanon. “We now have two prominent Christian television stations partnering with the Bible Society in order to produce Arabic programs to be broadcast throughout the Middle East.” The children’s program will be broadcast on SAT-7 Kids, a specialized children’s slot on the satellite station. “This is happening at a time when most of the world is anxious about Lebanon’s future,” continued Mr. Bassous, “but we are confident that our message of hope is not easily suppressed.”
