Good News from Lebanon and Egypt


Georges Houssney,
Director, Horizons International.
From Lebanon: The body of Christ is growing. Evangelical churches are numerous and are increasingly open to converts from Islam, which are increasing in number. Many Christians from Muslim Backgrounds are seeking refuge in Lebanon because of its religious freedom. God is doing amazing things through various churches and ministries, including Horizons. Pray that God would use the political instability to bring many to himself.

From Egypt: In recent years there has been a huge renewal movement among the Copts of Egypt, which is the largest group of Christians in the Middle East. They have become much more open to evangelical Christianity, and to the ever growing number of Muslims coming to Christ. Pray for peace and kingdom growth.
