First Service Held in Coptic Church Closed Seven Years Ago
7/25/18 Egypt (WWM)
Seven years ago, security officials closed a church in the community of Kom el-Loufy, citing security reasons. This week, the church was finally able to hold its first church service in seven years. The Christian community had to withdraw their compliant against arson, which was committed by local Islamic extremists, in order to get permission to open the church.
Please pray …
- Pray for protection for this community of believers as they face threats from the surrounding Muslim community.
- Pray for opportunities for this church to reach out into their community and share the love of Christ.
- Pray for God to bless the members of this church as they endure persecution.
