26 episodes of 8-10 minutes each. The series is about women in the Old and New Testaments. The first part is in the form of a drama sketch, the second part a reflection.
How Jesus approached and treated women was revolutionary and broke the social norms of His time. Even the earliest Biblical accounts of Jesus' dealings with women provide primary evidence that He treated all women with great respect and gave them a dignity and special status that was unheard of at the time. The life of Christ is an effective model for Arab men and women to emulate.
The series has been broadcast by several satellite channels and is widely used on social media platforms.
PAK7 is a media initiative - indigenous, strategic and transformative - that empowers Pakistani Christians to show their nation God's love. Arab Vision partners with PAK7. Episodes of Women in the Bible have been dubbed in Urdu. Here are some stories of how the programme has impacted the lives of Pakistani people.
Women's show leads to sharing household responsibilities and stronger marriage
I was overwhelmed by the demands of my work and family and often felt invisible. Seeing four friends at Khawateen Bible Ki sharing biblical wisdom gave me the courage to talk openly with my husband about sharing responsibilities. Their conversations showed me that God values women's voices and gives us strength. I now lead a weekly women's group at church where we pray for each other and study the lives of strong women in scripture. My self-confidence has grown and my marriage feels more balanced.
Women inspire women
I am a working woman who also tries to manage all my household chores. This makes life very stressful and boring. I always felt so misunderstood and unheard. I was also slowly losing hope in everything! I felt like I had no one to talk to. I also felt like a completely unloved person. My media watchlists were also very depressing; I didn't even like watching anything positive!
One day I saw a suggestion for a show called Khawatein Bible Ki, and I thought it would be a typical sermon. Instead, I was really struck by how the discussions led to challenges in everyday life and how they relate to the biblical stories. I was impressed by its honesty, and the discussion points are useful and applicable to any time period. Slowly, I started mending broken relationships and volunteering for youth programmes. Challenges became opportunities for growth, and I discovered inner peace I had never known before. Today, I feel guided and fulfilled. Faith turned my anxiety into peace, and watching Khawatein Bible Ki reminded me that God's timing is perfect.
