EGYPT
NOVEMBER 8-18, 2022
(Border Status: Open, Vaccine Not Required)
There is a powerful prophecy in Isaiah 19 concerning Egypt. While it tells of many trials and tribulations that Egypt will endure, there is a very hopeful verse in Isaiah 19:21. “So the Lord will make himself known to the Egyptians, and in that day they will acknowledge the Lord. They will worship with sacrifices and grain offerings; they will make vows to the Lord and keep them.”
The year 2021 will be the 13th year WMA has been ministering the Gospel in Egypt and we are thankful the Lord allowed us to be His co-laborers in the fulfillment of this prophecy. We are excited about the growth of the body of Christ in this ancient land and the new opportunities to share the Gospel in Cairo February 16-26.
The current situation in Egypt from the political and the economic perspective does not seem to confirm that the fulfillment of this prophecy is near, yet in the spiritual realm there is a great change happening in this nation!
Egypt today, like never before, is in need of the light of Christ!
Egyptian Christians need our encouragement – they have suffered tremendously in the recent years from the revolutions and political takeovers. The churches were burned, and people lost lives because of their faith in Christ. Yet, many Christians declare their faith boldly before the world by obtaining a tattoo of the cross on their wrist as the public declaration of their loyalty to Christ even in the face of persecution.
You have an incredible opportunity to share Jesus with the Egyptian people by sharing your testimony or teaching in evangelistic services that will be held at the local churches; inspire and encourage young people to follow Christ as they choose their path in life – a lot of young people in Egypt are attracted to secular lifestyle, yet struggle to find hope and meaning in life. If you have a heart for broken and hurting people, the outreach to women is a very important and needed ministry in Islamic countries.
Medical professionals and non-medical volunteers in the free clinic held at the local churches will have an opportunity to minister to the bodies and souls of those who can’t afford medical care.
Finally, you will have an opportunity to bring joy to the orphaned kids through games, stories and gifts – there is hardly a more significant impact that can be made in these young hearts.
The team will be interceding for the restoration of Egypt from the spiritual oppression, strife and wars and for its spiritual destiny as the children of the true God. We need prayer warriors and intercessors on the team who will devote themselves to this extremely important part of the mission.
You will spend our last day touring Cairo’s Museum of Ancient History, the Pyramids of Giza, Mount Mokkatam, the banks of the Nile river as well as have some time for souvenir shopping.
Please let me know if God is calling you on this mission as we have a limited number of spots on this team. You can send in your $200 deposit ASAP to reserve your spot!
We pray that the Lord hand selects individuals to fulfill this historic mission!
