Help us to Help OthersDear brothers and sisters,

Greetings in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ!

The last few weeks have been traumatic for Egyptians. We witnessed bloodshed on our

streets, vandalism and the deliberate destruction of churches and government buildings in

lawless acts of revenge. One of our Anglican Churches was attacked, and other ministries

received threats. We praise God that our churches and congregations are safe, but we

grieve for the loss of life and for the churches which were burnt over the past week in Egypt.

The Anglican Church in Egypt serves all

Egyptians, Muslims and Christians, especially thedisadvantaged and marginalized, through our

educational, medical, and community

development ministries. We seek to be a light in

our society, and we continue to serve our

neighbours in the difficult situation which

surrounds us. Unemployment is at a record high,

there is a lack of security on the streets, the

economy is in decline, and poverty is crushing for

many people in Egypt.

Through your support, the Diocese hopes to help in the following areas:

1. The Poorest of the Poor2. Building Capacity of Young Adults3. Spiritual Ministry


2/3

1. The poorest of the poor are the most affected by the situation in Egypt. As thechurch, we want to practically show the love of God and provide for people in this

challenging time in Egypt.

Some examples of ways that you could give are:Provide a meal for a poor child ($1 US per day)Visit to a doctor ($2 per visit)Food to feed a family ($5 per day)Subsidy for nursery fees for a child ($20 per

month)

School fees for a year ($50 per year)Emergency surgical operation ($100 per

operation)

2. Building the capacity of young adults:It is very difficult for young people to find jobs, and

the Diocese is empowering young adults (both

hearing and deaf) through vocational training and

micro-loans.

Examples of this are:

Vocational training for 2 months ($150)Vocational training for 6 months ($450)Loan for a small business project ($750)

3. Spiritual MinistryThe Diocese continues to serve our

congregations, to teach the Word of God, and

to reach the unreached. You can:

Give a Bible ($3 per Bible)Transport for children for Sunday School

($20 per session)

Subsidy to attend an Alpha Course ($20)
