“In my distress I called to the Lord; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears.” Psalm 18:6
Gracious Lord, we lift Ali and his team to you today. They are prayer-walking a section of the great ancient city of Cairo, Egypt, asking for open hearts and open homes. Speak to the young men in the neighborhoods during the night, visiting them in dreams and visions, offering them hope and purpose when they choose to follow You. We join Ali today in praying Psalms 18:6: “In my distress, I called to the Lord; I cried to my God for help. From his temple, he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears.” We ask for testimonies of angelic visitations and divine revelation to break through the darkness that covers the city. Grant Ali’s team understanding to encourage new believers to share the Good News with family and friends. We ask You for a sustainable movement of new Jesus Followers to begin from Cairo up the Nile and spread through the entire nation of Egypt. In Jesus’ name, Amen. |

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.
