Church Re-Opening Protested

Africa
Egypt

July 14, 2011

On May 19 in EGYPT, Muslim protesters surrounded a church as it was being re-opened. They threatened to kill a church leader. Due to Muslim opposition, the building has been closed for almost 3 years. Muslims threaten that if the congregation opens it again without their permission, the church will be demolished.

Pray that the believers will be able to meet safely. “...that according to the riches of His glory He may grant you to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in your inner being.”
