As in many places, the church in Egypt faces some serious challenges. The country has experienced political and economic turmoil, a huge influx of refugees and continued persecution of believers. What a time to be part of a gathering to bring together more than 150 church and missions leaders! It was encouraging to see leaders from diverse denominations and backgrounds grappling together with issues; facing the challenge of how to reach out and love their neighbour. We met some amazing people working in difficult circumstances who are asking for encouragement, input and teaching. We are hoping to go back to see how we can help. We have been invited back in September to start training the YWAM team and local church leaders. This is a new region for us and would require a steep learning curve. However, with two invitations now connected to this region, we sense an open door and an opportunity to bring other trainers to serve this region in the future. Pray for wisdom as we consider this possibility. Please pray for the YWAM team in Egypt who are, among other activities, reaching out to Syrian refugees and sending short term teams into neighbouring countries.
