Organisation

Pastor Amir Upper Egypt)


Objective

There are thousands of small villages in Upper Egypt, where only a few Christians remain.  Churches are closed because there are insufficient pastors, who want to live in these remote places and shepherd a church community. Therefore, it is difficult for Christians to grow and feel connected to a Christian community.  Many church buildings are deserted and Christians find it difficult to survive in this part of the world. The objective of this project is to revive the Christian communities and open the churches to different ministries for children, youth, women, etc.

Approach

Pastor Amer wants to reach 80.000 people in 5 villages/towns in Upper Egypt and open the church buildings in the coming 5 years.  He is forming a team to organize out-reaches and set-up children’s clubs, women’s ministries and weekly church services to encourage the Christians in these remote places.  Pastors will be equipped to teach and minister to the people.  For the coming 5 years an investment will be necessary to provide the pastors with training, a contribution to their salary and tools/equipment for the different ministries.
