Day of Prayer and Fasting
Egypt: A kaleidoscope of peoples loved by the Lord
Next time you think of Egypt, don’t think about King Tut and the pyramids. Instead, imagine you are:
• A university student, one of more than 2 million in Cairo alone.
• A Bedouin shepherd from the Sinai, proud of your identity as a true Arab and “defender of Islam.”
• A Domari Gypsy woman, despised by most other Egyptians.
• A Copt from Egypt’s age-old traditional Christian community.
Learn more about these peoples and their nation for the Day of Prayer and Fasting for World Evangelization June 4.
Find out how to invite musician Jeni Vernadeau to sing in your church to promote the Day of Prayer and Fasting.
Fear factor slows the Gospel in Egypt
Reasons to fear are many and real for Christians and churches in Egypt. Read more.
New day of prayer resources
• The latest issue of the 8-page mini-mag “To the Ends of the Earth,” not only encourages prayer for Egypt, but also carries inspiring stories from around the world, highlights from the IMB’s 2005 annual statistics and info on your church’s role in international missions.
• A Spanish/English DVD set, “Bendito sea Egipto: Desde el desierto hasta el Delta,” makes it easy for churches to reach members who prefer either language.
