When I think of Egypt, I think my perception wasn't very realistic. This was my first experience with a society , flooded with the influence of Islam. Around every corner, there seem to be a mosk, and the Koran is easy to get by.The Egyptian pound has mosks printed on them and every morning you are woken up by the sound of someone praying to Islam.
In my Wildest imagination I would never have thought that, there would be a world like this!
Despite all the religious acts,there lies a nation behind it all. A people group God wants to touch ,for He wants everyone to come to the knowledge and salvation of Jesus Christ. I believe with my whole heart that if the people of Egypt truly seek the truth , they will find it in Isa as they call Him. It might take some time ,but eventually the truth will be revealed to them.
- Its so amazing to hear, how Jesus reveals and is revealing Himself to the Muslim groups in dreams. Our Expedition Leader Willem shared in a testimony to us how a Islamic believer saw Christ in His dreams- What a testimony to the fact that Jesus is alive and busy in Egypt.
- We as a group have also started to work with some local Christians. By divine appointment ,God seem to draw us to them. These guys work up to like 1 in the morning, in order to keep there jobs. Of course we had to fall in with there program and therefore we started bible study with them at 1:30 in te morning. Its really been hectic the past few days,but the reward behind it is so much greater .Even if we can't see the results now, we know that the seeds have been planted. Please pray that God would stir a desire in their hearts to search for more of Him .
- Futhermore ,we've also met a women that has gone from Christianity, to Islam and back.Her testimony was amazing !She confesses how powerless she felt under Islam. Her whole life went backwards when she was under Islam. Please pray for her protection as there is a lot of people who are persecuted when turning from Christianity to Islam.
