Although Egypt is overwhelmingly Muslim, the culture is beginning to change. Men and women still conform to the standards of Islam in appearance (the way they dress and eat) but some are questioning the meaning of their religion. "There is a lot of pressure on the street [in Egypt] to at least appear pious," one journalist recently noted. "But that is not how everyone wants to live, not all the time."
Praise the Lord for what He is doing in this nation.
Pray for this dissatisfaction with past traditions and rigid, works-based religion to be used to draw people into a relationship with the True and Living God through the death and resurrection of His only Son, Jesus Christ.
Ask the Holy Spirit to move among Egyptians – especially the younger generation – showing them the emptiness of Islam and the fullness of knowing the Creator of all things.
Pray for the Gospel to be proclaimed throughout this nation and for Believers to be bold in sharing their faith.
Petition the Lord for multitudes to come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
