[Field News] Egypt who will dwell forever in the love of God

(The photo above is unrelated to the content.)

Hello. My name is Amal from Egypt.

My parents divorced due to my father's verbal and physical abuse, and so I am now living with my mother and 4 children.

6 years ago, I heard about Jesus from my Christian friends, and we worshipped together and shared in deep fellowship.

However, the more I came to know Jesus, the more my Muslim identity filled me with doubt and fear, so I rejected the gospel.

But 6 years later, I met my Christian friends again and I went to the place of worship again.

That day I was afraid because my father, who used to beat my family often, was coming home, but as I worshipped, amazingly all my fear disappeared and I felt peace.

As I felt that God was the one who could solve all the problems in my life, I decided to open my heart to Him.

So I went to my Christian friend and told him about all my sins and problems.

My sins of homosexuality, smoking 3 packs of cigarettes every day because life is difficult, taking anti-depressants because of my suicidal thoughts, and not only this but I also shared about my mother's addiction to media and problems with men, all the problems of sin that I can never solve with my own strength.

My friend who listened to all of this grabbed my hand tightly and prayed for me in the name of Jesus.

At that moment, it felt like someone was patting and stroking my head.

It felt like a comfort that I had never experienced before in my life was being poured into me.

However, I still have fear inside me.

The sins and scars from my family that had filled my life for a long time, and the binds of darkness that caused me to hate myself and live without hope, though all of these things seem so strong, I desire to rely on the cross of Jesus and come before the Lord.

Please pray that all my soul and life may be restored through the love of Jesus and also for my family to be transformed!

and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's. (1 Corinthians 3:23)

For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:38-39)

God, thank you for giving Sister Amal, who had rejected the gospel due to her Muslim identity which she had since childhood, a Christian co-worker and coming to her and giving her true peace.

As Sister Amal sincerely comes before the Lord with all her deep scars from domestic violence and the heavy problems of sin that cannot be solved by man, we praise our Lord who will completely restore and set her free.

Although the bonds of darkness that surround her seem too strong, we confess that Sister Amal belongs to the Lord and nothing can separate her from the love of God.

May Sister Amal rely on the cross of Jesus Christ alone and may the Holy Spirit be with her in every situation. Please give her the courage and faith to fight against sin to the point of shedding blood.

In this way, may she gain freedom in Jesus and be reborn as a new creation. Through her, may her family look to Jesus and follow the Lord to rise as a holy church.

Through her and her family, may this nation be transformed, and may the Egyptian souls experience the love of God and joyfully serve Jesus Christ, the true Savior.
