Nation of the Month Egypt

General Info:

• Capital: Cairo

Answers to Prayer:

• Large-scale Bible distribution and creative ways to maintain a public presence make The Bible Society a highly strategic ministry. Scripture is more accessible than ever, especially to young people, and Christians and the Christian message have greater exposure in the media.

Current Prayer Needs:

The government is in a precarious position, between the Muslim Brotherhood, the silent majority, minority groups, strident anti-government bloggers and international pressure on some issues. It seems to lack the willpower to root out corruption; failure to address this and the issue of police violence only strengthen the hands of the Islamists and critics. Water issues are becoming very serious and, combined with population growth, intensify both poverty and unemployment. Pray that corruption would be rooted out, justice done and fair laws passed and then carried out in the interests of the people.
