The possibilities at Annapolis bring hope to the Middle East

Middle East (MNN) — Syria’s presence at the Annapolis Summit this week could help ease tensions in Lebanon. The country is divided by a leadership vacuum and political standoff. SAT-7’s David Harder says on the one hand, their team in Lebanon doesn’t have high expectations for the talks. On the other hand, “Having a conference where the Syrians are sitting down at the same table with the Israelis and Americans is a good thing, and hopefully the talks can lead to some real positive steps in the future. I know that will be a wonderful possibility for our staff, particularly in Lebanon, who are very concerned about the future.” The network’s broadcasts are bringing messages of peace across the region, but the tenuous situation is challenging to their team. “If people could pray that in Lebanon, a peaceful situation would be worked out politically, that would be wonderful, because having peace enables churches to do the kind of ministries that they want to do and enables us, as a Christian broadcaster, to produce the types of shows that we want to produce.”
