Blessing Divine

Blessing upon blessing is a precise description of my experience in Dahab, Egypt. From sea, snorkeling and milkshakes to divine appointments and great friendships that were built in the early hours of the day.

 God has truly proved to be faithful and has blessed us with divine appointmetns within the local community of Dahab.  We had the opportunity of forming great friendships and to see Egypt from a new angle - from the eyes of the local Christians. We could listen to the struggles of their hearts and hear what day to day life was like as a Christian in an Islamic country. 

Since our arrival in Dahab we felt it on our hearts to start Bible study meetings with the local Christians. God blessed us with people that has such a hunger for more of God's Word. They are Christians but have a very limited knowledge of the Bible. We met in the early hours of the mornings, 1h30 am, and spent great times in the Word of God. 

 I was blessed by their faith. They showed me what childlike faith was all about. They believe. Without having all the knowledge. They believe. They blessed me with their open hearts. They barely just met us but they trusted us enough to open their hearts and let us as strangers come inside.  They blessed us with friendliness, hospitality, sincere hearts and a hunger for the Truth. 

 Join us in prayer that God will raise up His church in Dahab and that they will have the boldness to stand up for what they believe in - even though they will be seen as different. Please pray that God will protect and bless them and provide in all their needs.
