Nineteen-year-old Joy Basta, a presenter on the SAT-7 KIDS’ channel which broadcasts in the Middle East, pointed people towards Jesus in a June interview.
He said: ‘Although I attended a Christian school, it was in a very rough area. Everything you could imagine was happening there: drug dealing, sexual abuse and fist fights.’
His family, like many, were unaware of the poor learning environment. The disparity between home and school life was incredibly confusing, even though biblical morals were taught in both places. ‘It was so corrupt, yet I was being educated with Christian values.’
