• Pray for the Church to continue to overcome evil with divine forgiveness and love.

• Pray for Jesus to reveal Himself to an unprecedented number of Muslims disillusioned by Islamic State.

Prayercast | Egypt

Egypt was a majority-Christian nation for over 1,000 years, and today it remains home to the Middle East’s largest body of Christians - the Coptic Church (12%). Evangelical Christianity is on the rise, though still only about 3% of the population. Yet Islam remains the state religion and the faith of 87% of its people. Egypt is also often seen as the intellectual center for Sunni Islam. Though the Egyptian Church has endured persecution for over 2,000 years, recent instability and the presence of the Islamic State have intensified their suffering. Horrific scenes of church bombings have brought the plight of Egyptian Christians to the world stage. However, even as persecution increases, so does the number of Muslims turning to Christ! Scripture is more accessible than ever, and the Church is growing in unity across theological differences.

And the current identity cards used to discriminate moslem from Christian are certainly being used for wilful discrimination with both congregations and churches attacked. So pray for the moslems to consider their actions and for protection of the Christians.

(For those who believe in such things, I think the apparitions of Our Lady of Zeitoun were so that she could draw Egypitian moslems and christians together, since Islam has deep respect for miryam too - but as in other places, like Fatima and later Kibeho, Rwanda her warnings are never heeded)
