hey everyone...
we are doing great today and appreciate all of the prayers!
our day started like it did yesterday. we went to our worker's home church and began the day in prayer for over an hour. imagine this setting - about 10 people sitting in plastic chairs on a dirt ground with the noise of say cobb parkway or peachtree street booming in the background...and you're praying what's on your heart super, super cool...
we then had the opportunity to pray for an egyptian man who is working to bring the good news to the entire country of Romania. he is facing a lot of oppression and it was really cool to hear and listen how God was working in Romania as well...
we then headed downtown to pray. we walked around for over 2 hours and just prayed for the people of Cairo as they walked by us and vice versa. what a great, great time! you really could feel the Spirit of God working. can't wait to do that some more...
tonight, our worker's were helping out another worker family here make a video to raise support back in the states. so we got to tag along as they made the video...on a boat on the Nile River. so we were able to cruise the Nile...another incredible experience!
we are continuing to feel blessed admidst all of the sadness and oppression that is around us. our worker family is the bomb and we feel really blessed to be able to spend time with them. one of them is on day 24 (i think) of a 40-day fast so if you think about, prayers for strength and encourgement would be appreciated...
please continue to pray as we continue strive towards what God is having us do. much grace and peace to all of you...

Father, I pray that You sustain, and inspire Your servants in Egypt who bring the Gospel. I pray that Chip and Amanda’s intercession and service will bring a freshness and revival to the worker’s souls….that it will be like a cup of cold water in that dry and sandy place. I pray that their faith will be strengthened and that You would renew their zeal and love for You, Your Son, Your Spirit and Your WORD. For Your Glory Alone….Amen.

ReplyDeleteChip & Amanda,
ReplyDeleteWe love you so much and hope you are having a lifetime experience. I attended our Church men's prayer breakfast this morning and shared your mission with them. The guys where really amazed and blown away by your courage and conviction to be in such a hostile environment for Christianity. We have added your mission to our prayer list. I also forwarded your email to several (over 100) friends for them to follow your journey and help pray for the mission. God loves you and I know He is so proud of your debticated service in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It is so ironic that you are there at this time. I have been reading the book "Walking The Bible" that belonged to Randy. The chapter I'am focusing on is about Moses leading the Israelites out of Egpyt into the Sinai Desert. Please be careful and may God Bless your mission.
Love You, Stan, Laura & Payton
