“We are witnesses… and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.” Acts 5:32
The Lord of Hosts, You lead all of heaven’s armies, and You guide the hearts of those who follow You. Today, we lift up Mina and her team in Cairo, Egypt, as they serve young people who are searching for truth. In a city filled with many voices and false hopes, help them hear Your voice most clearly. Make their steps strong, protect their times of gathering, and let the message they carry be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit and the truth of the Gospel. As it has been spoken in Acts 5:32, “We are witnesses… and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.” Let their obedience unlock doors that no person can close, and let the Holy Spirit give strength and clarity to every word they speak. Raise up young men and women in Cairo who will follow You without fear. Multiply their faith and send new movements from Egypt into Libya, Sudan, and the Arabian Peninsula. In Jesus’ Name, Amen. |

Join us in the 10 Days of Prayer leading up to Pentecost and the Global Day of Prayer for Israel/Jews on June 8th.
Cairo, which in Arabic translates, “The Victorious”, is the capital of Egypt and the most populated metropolitan area in Africa. Cairo is a sprawling, ancient city that lies along the banks of the Nile, and is the home of many world heritage sites, historic figures, peoples, and languages.
Roughly 10% of all Egyptians identify as Coptic Christian, though religious intolerance from the Muslim majority and religious baggage holds the existing branch back from advancement. Egypt is also home to 1.7 million orphaned children, most of whom roam the streets of Cairo resorting to begging or petty theft to survive.
These challenges provide an incredible opportunity for the network of Jesus followers in the victorious city to adopt a generation and raise an army of more than conquerors.
