Dear sisters and brothers in Christ,
I am writing about my ministry in Obour city, Cairo.
I came to Obour September 2005 and I started with two families ,I shared with them the word of God and I started Bible study at houses ,I shared them my vision to planet church in this city, they accepted my vision joyfully ,they share with me to empower the ministry.
I continued knocking doors and I visited many families.
Now after two years of ministry ,we have more than 50 families accepted Jesus , we have weekly congregation(every Friday) ,Sunday school(50 kid), youth meeting(25 young people), ladies meeting(25 ladies) ,we started to help families in need. Our number is about 150 person.
