EGYPT  05/06/2011

With just four months until Egypt’s parliamentary elections, Egypt is in desperate need of our prayers. Recent weeks have seen increasingly repressive tactics used by the military regime and an upsurge in attacks on religious minorities.

Pray for Egypt daily this week using the prayer below:

Heavenly Father, we lift our brothers and sisters in Egypt into Your precious care, knowing that You will be their fortress, comfort and shield in the face of violence and discrimination.

In this crucial time in the nation’s history, we ask that You would grant wisdom to those that govern Egypt, so that the nation’s religious minorities are able to practise their faith freely and without fear.

We pray Your kingdom come and Your will be done in Egypt, to the glory of Your name. Amen.

I want to...

Give Christians in Egypt a voice, by providing a day of human rights training so that they can speak up about religious persecution!

Individuals across the region need to know their rights in order to speak up for them. To meet this need, several small groups have formed; but they need support and help to understand how to advocate effectively at a national level. By buying this gift, you’ll be strengthening the national voice to obtain the equality of rights that everyone deserves. You’ll give them the confidence and the skills to report on human rights violations, speaking up for others who suffer, and ultimately creating hope for the future. This gift pays for one day of vital training.

Make a donation to support CSW’s work in Egypt and around the world.
