*Prayer Needs
- Pray for the kindling of spiritual hunger that will lead Egyptians to the Bread of life.
- Pray for revival in the Chruch and protection for believers. Many Christians face persecution for their faith as well as discrimination in workplaces and public spaces.
- Pray for boldness to witness to Christ in the face of violence.
- Pray also for renewal in the Coptic church, which is a centuries-old Christian community, the largest in the Middle East. Pray that revival within it will influence the wider region.
