Praying for Nations: Egypt

Bellevue Students are praying for Egypt this week:

• Population of 84 million people.
• Only 3% of the land is capable of producing crops.
• Literacy rate is 71%.
• 11 indigenous languages, 2 have the Bible.
• 59% of the Egyptian people are considered unreached with the Gospel.
• Annual income/person is $2162 ($5.92/day, or 5% that of U.S.)
• Muslim persecution of Christians is well-documented, and has only grown in recent years as Muslims have gained more governmental control and Christians have become more outspoken.
• Egypt is about 87% Muslim (representing 73 million people).

Prayer Points:

Sunday: Pray for the Presidential election that will take place later this year - that God will raise up a leader who will bring hope and healing to Egypt.

Monday: Pray that the Gospel will shine in the midst of Egyptian uncertainty and political turmoil.

Tuesday: Pray that Egyptian Christ-followers will show and share the Gospel with confidence, power, and clarity.

Wednesday: Pray that God will stop the influence of anti-Christian groups seeking power to promote anit-Christian agendas.

Thursday: Pray that Egyptian Christians will take the Gospel to the 50 million still unreached Egyptians.

Friday: Pray that Muslim-background believers would boldly practice and proclaim the Gospel among Muslims.

Saturday: Pray that God would grant grace and endurance to persecuted Egyptian Christians.
