SAT-7 PARS was launched on December 18, 2006, but the ministry initially began Farsi (Persian) broadcasts September 12, 2002 on SAT-7 ARABIC. SAT-7 PARS is a 24/7 channel which provides a vital platform for Farsi speaking Christians who live in Iran and the wider Persian world (including Afghanistan and Tajikistan). “PARS” is a Farsi word which indicates the Persian culture, and the channel is operated by Persian Christians who feel it is vitally important to support the work and witness of Iranian churches. SAT-7 PARS reaches viewers who seek basic knowledge about Christianity and those who need encouragement in their Christian faith. Each day the channel airs specific blocks of original programming for children, youth, and women, as well as teaching programs for a general audience.

SAT-7 PARS can be watched 20 hours a day. Four hours of Turkish programming, provided by the independent Christian ministry TURK-7, also air each day on PARS frequency.
