Sorry, I did not have the opportunity to update my blog for a few days. I want to tell you about Friday, which was extremely encouraging day. I met with a young man (just a few days older than me, but it sounds good to call him young man), who has a calling for ministry and a desire to serve with us in our Ministry Center / Clinic in a full time capacity. He actually holds an MBA degree from the USA, speaks great English, but most importantly loves the Lord and is called to the ministry. Due to the sensitivity of this leadership position we are putting the matter before the Lord in prayers. We want HIS WILL not ours. Please continue to pray that we would be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit in taking this big decision.
Later in the afternoon we went to El-Moutamdia! When we arrived we were at a GREAT owe of how the Lord enabled the brother there to build 3 floors above the church. We have been trying for the past 10 years to obtain a permission to build just one floor above the church for Sunday school classes to no avail. The Lord used the recent revolution in Egypt to guide us to add NOT just ONE, BUT THREE FLOORS each at approximately 4,000sq feet. I wish you could have seen the excitement on the faces of the brothers! They will use one floor as a multipurpose hall, another as a day care / Sunday school classes / and the final as a Youth Center. What an exciting time for the church in Egypt. The future is full of opportunities. Since I arrived I met with literally 70 pastors more than have of them are using this opportunity of no secret police to fix their church building, something they did not have the opportunity to do for almost 50 years. Thank you for enabling us to be a part of what God is doing in Egypt!
