He dared to believe - Dr Terence Ascott

Dr Terence Ascott was born in London but has lived and worked in the Middle East since the 1970s pioneering the creative use of Christian print and visual media. Terry launched the first Christian magazine to be successfully distributed on newsstands in more than a dozen Arab countries. He soon realised that TV would be the gateway into millions of Middle Eastern and Northern African homes and in 1995 launched SAT-7, the first Arabic-language Christian satellite-TV channel. This has grown from a two-hour a week broadcast, to a network of four 24 hour channels, with 200 employees in offices in Egypt, Lebanon, Turkey, Cyprus and the UK.
Terry served as the CEO until April 2019 and in 2021 published the incredible story of the highs and lows of this journey through the book "Dare to Believe! Stories from the Middle East". It's an inspiring book - buy a copy!For more information head to the SAT-7 UK Website or get a great 3.5min intro on Youtube.UPCOMING ASCEND EVENTS

Imagine a community of men who are challenged, inspired and equipped to live passionate lives for Jesus. A place where men-care-for-men through a small number of honest personal relationships initiated and supported by regular male-oriented events. Relationships are built shoulder-to-shoulder doing stuff in preference to eye-balling each other!Ascend Men is that community.Our podcasts reflect that desire to challenge, inspire and equip our men. Some are light-hearted easy-listens. Some deserve to be digested and pondered. If you love them, tell us - we could do with the encouragement. If you can see ways they could be improved, tell us - feedback is a gift.Join our Facebook group or email us (ascend@thec3.uk) to hear more about our fantastic breakfasts in Cambridge, Bury and Colchester as well as our annual Summit in February and Camp in July.
