Opening eyes
WE RECENTLY SENT two ladies from our staff, Ragga and Afaf, to Kenya. They joined 70 others from seven African nations. They shared about their ministry here in Egypt and they learned a lot from the experiences of the other delegates. They visited schools and shared with the children and also attended different churches where they had opportunity to teach the children. Ragga and Afaf returned to Egypt very excited from their experience. They are now sharing what they learned with different groups in Egypt with the goals of mobilising churches and mission teams and opening the eyes of Egyptians believers to pray and intercede for other nations. Our desire is to help churches in Egypt have a larger perspective of what God is doing and think not only for their own needs but to be aware of people in other nations who need the Lord.
