REACHING EGYPT
Reaching the Muslim world through house churches
Egypt is the largest Arab country and plays a central role in Middle Eastern politics. Civil and political unrest continue to threaten the country, and hostility toward Christians is undeniable. Nearly 90% of the population are Muslim, the remaining 10% are mostly Coptic-Orthodox Christians with Evangelical Christianity claiming less than 3% of this vast, influential country.
AREAS OF IMPACT
Since 2015, we have partnered with Near East Outreach (NEO) which works with church leaders throughout the Middle East –Lebanon, Egypt, Syria, Jordan and Iraq – to create house churches (cell groups), leadership training, and outreach programs for the marginalized. NEO has mobilized a large group of Christian volunteers to begin in-home Bible studies which continue to gain momentum and bring thousands of Egyptians into contact with the gospel message of Jesus. Their outreach also includes working with abused women, individuals with disabilities, and street children.
