Egypt Report
by our Middle East Director
An Urgent Call For Prayer
Scattered across all forms of news media are the ongoing events in the nation of Egypt. This not only concerns the world in which we live, but it greatly concerns the spiritual realm. The School of Christ has many students in Egypt and sustains an ongoing school there. We were planning to have a follow-up with former students this week and a school the following week, but due to the current crisis the students are unable to move from city to city and currently foreign flights are not landing in Cairo. We have already had to cancel the follow-up meeting with the former students and await to see if we will be able to have the school in the month of February.
What we are witnessing is the birth pangs of the end time events that pastor Clendennen spoke so often to us about. We ask that you would remember Egypt in your prayers, especially the believers. We have nearly two hundred former students there and the direction of the country will have a great impact upon them. We are pleading the blood of Jesus over them as lawlessness runs the streets. The Christians in Egypt have a limited freedom as it is and stand to face great consequences in governmental change. We know that all is in the Lord's hands and He is our Shield and Protector.
We have been in contact with our native workers there and will continue to stand with them in this time. One of them said, "We are not afraid. We have been to Iraq and other dangerous places, and we will not fear in this time." Arms fire could be heard in the phone as they made this statement. Your prayers and mine will make a difference.
Thank you for standing with us.
