“I will lift up my eyes to the hills– where does my help come from?
My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.”
(Psalm 121:1-2)
My dear Brothers and Sisters,
Advent greetings in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ!
I cannot tell you how much I am heavy-hearted because of what is going on in my beloved country Egypt. Many Egyptians were expecting that after the 25 January Revolution in 2011 there would be no exclusion for any citizen or groups because of their political or religious stance. Sadly, we are still groaning for this equality…
[blockquote] “Those who are against the new Constitution say that all parties should be involved in writing the Constitution and that it should achieve national unity and cohesion within the society.
However, it is dividing the society into Islamists and non-Islamists (moderate Muslims and Christians).” [/blockquote]
The protests are clearly very strong and Morsi is not prepared to risk a crack-down, at least not yet.
Pray that the Lord will protect His people in Egypt, and transform this situation. The ability of Christians to witness to muslims has always been very limited in Egypt – I don’t know how that could change, but pray that it will, and that the gospel will spread there.
