Be A Part of God's Work in Egypt

This is Part Two of a letter from the Bible Society of Egypt:While most Christians are encouraged by the "winds of democratic change", many others fear that the well-organized Muslim Brotherhood could win in a free election, and that if this happens the status of Christians in Egypt might be worse than before.Many believers in Egypt are used to equating God's blessing with physical comfort and even prosperity.Most expect a relatively peaceful life, and are not equipped to handle difficulties within a Biblical framework. Some Christians have not hesitated to flee the country, while many of those remaining wish they could leave as well.The Christian faith was born in unstable political circumstances and has usually thrived most when threatened. Our vision at the Bible Society of Egypt is to take a deliberate role in affirming to Christians of all classes and persuasions basic Biblical truths. We are on the precipice of opportunity, and feel that there is an incredible spiritual gap that must be filled.The Bible Society is in a strategic position to address the whole church (Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant). Our urgent desire is for the Word of God to speak. We cannot fail to seize this opportunity to share the relevance of God's Word during this momentous time in Egypt's history.The Bible speaks to the Revolution's aspirations Nearly all the dreams and aspirations of the youth who began this revolution are basic Biblical values. Unfortunately, some of the corruption and injustice against which they are revolting was perpetuated by so-called Christians as well. We know that, unlesspeople's hearts are changed by the Holy Spirit, all hope of a real "reformation of lifestyle", to which many Egyptians now aspire, will be impossible to achieve. There has never been a time when God's voice is more needed."I'm asking God to remind me to pray.  Hope you will, also. Our Christian brothers and sisters in every country in turmoil need our prayers right now--Poppy.
