Kalameh TV
Kalameh TV (meaning, The Word TV) is Elam’s main evangelistic TV program. It has been broadcast weekly into Iran since 2007 and is recognized as one of the highest quality Christian programs in Persian. Dealing with tough, real life issues, Kalameh TV is aimed at the broken hearted. Iranians are tired of abstract religious answers, but, like everyone, love a story that gives hope. So, Kalameh TV is testimony based, with each program featuring a powerful reconstruction of a testimony of an Iranian whose life has been dramatically rescued by Christ. During every program, viewers are given the opportunity to respond – to learn more or repent and accept Christ as Lord and Savior. The final part of the program provides helpful discussion and advice on how to help people in the midst of serious life challenges from a Biblical perspective.
Bible Teaching Programs
Christian leaders in Iran estimate that there are at least 100,000 believers in the country. The majority of these are secret believers in small, isolated house churches. Most of these groups will rely on the little teaching they can obtain from TV and the Internet. For healthy church growth it is vital to provide good quality Bible teaching that will help shape the emerging church. In 2008, Elam began producing teaching programs to help new Christians understand and apply the Bible. Using our team of qualified and experienced Iranian Bible teachers, we will continue to produce systematic teaching programs that will help viewers grow in their Christian faith. These programs will complement existing discipleship and leadership courses and materials that viewers will be able to access from the Internet or by email.
Children’s Programs
Over 30% of Iran’s population is under the age of 15 – totaling some 24 million children. If we are to see Iran transformed, we need to begin reaching Iranian children with the Christian message of hope. We have already successfully translated and dubbed the excellent Story Keepers and are working to produce other cartoons for Iranian children. Elam’s literature department will produce accompanying Sunday school curriculum for each program that will provide a highly attractive and easy to use package for churches in Iran to be able to teach children. Cartoons can be viewed at our children’s website www.koodakeirani.com.
