• Need a website? Arab Vision may have the ideal solution for you
• Latest from the viewers – Lives continue to be changed!
• Help! Urgent support needed for ongoing and new projects

Dear friends,

During the past six months, our graphic design and website department has developed and expanded significantly.  We have taken this route because so much of today’s communication and media depend on the internet and having good websites.  The department is now adequately staffed and equipped to meet our design and internet needs, as well as the needs of other groups and individuals we are in touch with…like yourself!

If you need publicity material designed, websites developed or upgraded, why don’t you contact us to find out what we can offer for you?  In addition to getting a top quality product for a good price, you will also be investing in the local workforce and people of the Arab World, and encouraging fair trade.  We have recruited staff with excellent skills and our policy is to ensure that they receive a fair wage for the professional work they do. 

We can afford to pay those wages and still make a fair profit because of the relatively low cost of living in the Arab countries we operate in. The profit is then used to make more Arabic Christian TV programs in the region; effectively, you will be helping us reach more viewers with the Gospel as well as getting a professional product for a good price.  Please contact us if you are interested to find out more.  We are excited about this prospect and the opportunity it will give us to work together with you. 

We are also excited about some of the latest responses from our viewers throughout the Arab World.  Here are the translations of some samples.  God is changing lives in the Arab World!

* I am 17-year-old girl and I have known Christ through your programs. While I was watching one day, I had a wonderful experience. The guest in the program was sharing a story about a girl who was being forced to marry someone by her parents. This was exactly my story too!  When I heard your advice on how to ask Christ to help through prayer, I also prayed to Jesus and asked that He would free me from this forced marriage that I was facing.  Not too long after, the Lord answered my prayer.   I have tasted the answers to prayer, and I did pray again especially on one occasion when I had a twisted ankle; I prayed and asked Jesus to heal me and He did it instantly. Today I acknowledge that Jesus is my Lord and Savior because I have seen by myself what He can do.

* Since I started to watch your programs I have known Christ, and my life has completely changed.  Only now have I discovered the real meaning of life. * I have been watching your channel for some months.  The words and everything you say gets to the heart. I felt as if I couldn't keep this wonderful news for myself and decided that I would share it with a friend.  To my surprise, he was already watching the programs and feeling the same thing too.  We love Jesus and we want to get as many as possible to eternal life through the Prince of Peace.

 

Encouraging, isn’t it?  Yet many more still do not know the Gospel in this vast region.  We are pushing ahead with a number of projects to share the Good News of Jesus through TV, but we need your help.  The last couple of months have been difficult ones financially; we have been asking our Heavenly Father to provide.  If He lays it on your heart to help with a donation, we would love to hear from you. 

Thank you, dear friends.  May God bless you richly.
