Dimmed light in the East
Last year in the devastating Israeli/Hezbollah war, the satellites of Tele Lumiere/Noursat network were knocked out and the voices of peace and justice they carried were silenced. The people in the Lebanon region who found their only hope in those transmitted messages were cut off from voices of peace and faith. They were endangered, and alone.
They have been rebuilding since then. And they’re trying to be that voice of reason again in a land that desperately needs it.
While many TV channels have become event-oriented, either focusing on terrorism, political turmoil and fanaticism, or are limited to amusement and scandals, the openness strategy of Télé Lumière and Noursat, promoting multi-cultural understanding and religious dialogue, have encouraged a large amount of Muslim viewers to watch and participate in the campaigns and programs strengthening peace, targeting coexistence and opposing immorality, violence and terrorism.

After all these years of broadcast, Télé Lumière and Noursat have become a daily bread and hope for the Christian minority in the Middle East and the diaspora as well as a source of peace for many viewers from different denominations.
They need it now as much as ever.
