Growing the Church in Egypt
The revolutionary events that began in Egypt in 2011, brought rapid and deep change to society, including unprecedented openness to the church's role in society. Yet, due to the limited capacity of the Church (of all denominations), more than 70% of Egyptian Christians do not have access to a church. The Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Egypt (founded by Presbyterian missionaries in the mid-19th century) is seizing this opportunity to expand its outreach ministries to all segments of society. The EPCE is currently planting more than 66 new church developments in new cities throughout the country, as well as villages and remote areas. Likewise, the Evangelical Theological Seminary in Cairo is actively training pastors to serve in churches throughout the Arab World. This project supports these outreach ministries of the church in Egypt. Donations to this ECO will also help Presbyterian World Mission send mission workers who are committed to equipping and growing the Christian Church in Egypt.
