How an Egyptian-born couple have turned their home into America’s first 24/7 Arabic Christian TV channel

Called Alkarma TV, it is now proving a hit with the millions of Arabic speakers in North America and many are finding Christ

LOS ANGELES, CA
(ANS) -- Samuel and Mona, an Egyptian born couple now living in Southern California, are two of the most self-effacing people you could ever meet.

Both hail from Cairo in Egypt, but instead of settling for the American dream of having a home in the suburbs, they have decided instead to make history.

For this gentle husband and wife team has dug deep into their own pockets to launch the first 24/7 Arabic Christian television channel in America called Alkarma TV, which means “The Vineyard” in Arabic.

And they run it out of their own home and aim it to the estimated 12 million Arabic speaking people in the US, Canada, and Mexico.

In a recent interview for my Window on the World radio show, I asked them both to begin by outlining their early life in Egypt before they moved to America.

Samuel began by explaining, “My father was responsible for a church in Cairo, Egypt, and I grew up in this church but then the authorities closed it down. So he then moved to another church and I was responsible for running the Sunday school there from 1985 to 1995. Later, I was responsible also for a youth meeting at the church. I was also involved in counseling ministry until I came here to the United States.”

For those who would like to help Samuel and Mona continue this vital ministry, you can go to their website, which is www.alkarmatv.com/, or call their number which is: (714) 421 4019 and make a gift.
