In this special Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast interview recorded at CPE Live 2026, host TS Wright welcomes Dennis Weins of SAT-7 for a conversation about missions, Christian media, and the expanding reach of the Gospel.
Dennis begins by sharing his personal journey. Growing up in a missionary family in West Africa eventually led him back to the region, where he spent decades working alongside churches, church leaders, and community development ministries.
That experience prepared him for another chapter of ministry with SAT-7, a Christian media organization born in the Middle East with a vision of seeing a growing and confident Church throughout the Middle East and North Africa.
Reaching People Through MediaDennis explains how SAT-7 pioneered the use of satellite television to reach people in regions where traditional missionary approaches could face significant barriers.
What began with a limited satellite broadcast has expanded into multiple television channels along with digital streaming, social media, mobile applications, and other online platforms.
These technologies allow Christian programming to reach directly into homes—and increasingly into the phones and personal devices of viewers.
Christianity in the Heart Language and Heart CultureOne of the major themes of the conversation is cultural context.
Rather than simply repackaging Western Christian programming, SAT-7 produces content in the Middle East with local Christians speaking to their own communities.
Dennis explains the importance of communicating biblical Christianity through the heart language and heart culture of the audience.
Programming includes dramas, talk shows, children's programming, biblical teaching, and other formats designed to communicate the Gospel in culturally meaningful ways.
The Gospel Brings HopeTS Wright and Dennis also discuss the danger of allowing news headlines alone to shape the way Christians view the Middle East.
Dennis emphasizes a different perspective:
Wherever the Gospel can be shared, there is hope.
Themes of God's love, forgiveness, meaning, identity, and significance resonate deeply with viewers. SAT-7's audience-relations teams are then able to continue walking with viewers as they explore questions of faith through television, social media, digital platforms, and the SAT-7 PLUS app.
Beyond the HeadlinesThe conversation challenges believers to look beyond political conflicts and negative headlines and recognize that God is working among people throughout the Middle East and North Africa.
Countries that may appear closed from the outside can still contain people who are receptive to the message of Christ.
TS Wright encourages listeners to pray for believers throughout the region, learn what is actually happening on the ground, and support ministries carrying the Gospel into places that traditional ministry methods cannot always reach.
