SAT-7 KIDS
FROM ALPHA TO OMEGA
It can be challenging to understand the Bible when first
introduced to its terminology. The SAT-7 TÜRK team
are underway with a new bite-sized series called From Alpha
to Omega, seeking to explain Christianity in a simple and visual
way. Spending each ten minute episode on one theological
term, SAT-7 TÜRK will air From Alpha to Omega between
longer programs on its 24/7 schedule. 136 episodes of
the program will be uploaded to social media to create
open discussion spaces.

What does your role with SAT-7 involve?
I am a Schedule Coordinator for SAT-7 KIDS and an Assistant
Producer and Director for some of the children’s programs. I also
assist the SAT-7 KIDS Channel Manager and am involved in
acting on some of the programs, when needed. I was previously the
Arabic language teacher on the My School program.
What do you like about working with SAT-7?
I have done many internships and worked in production companies
before, but the most important element in a healthy working
environment is respect between colleagues. I haven’t found this
anywhere else except at SAT-7.
Tell us a little bit about your spiritual journey so far.
I have been through various challenging situations in my life and
without my faith and belief in God I don’t know how I could have
faced any of them. He brings happiness and contentment into my
life. I am proud to be a Christian because I have experienced the
true meaning of love.
If you could sit down with Jesus today, what would you like
to ask Him?
I would ask Jesus one simple question: am I on the right path in
my life?
What is your passion outside SAT-7?
I can’t live without music, even when I am working. I am currently
taking lessons to learn to play an oriental instrument called “Qanun”.
I also like singing, especially in my church choir. I am a big fan of
basketball and enjoy watching any game regardless
of who is playing.
