Pastoral trainng takes place in the ‘brain of Islam’

Posted by Robert Jimenez on February 28, 2007

Egypt (MNN) — E3 Partners’ Tom Doyle says while Saudi Arabia is the heart of Islam, Egypt is the brains. Islamic clerics are trained in the country, so it only makes sense to hold their own strategic training. “We were blessed to have about 140 pastors and leaders in Egypt at a training where they learned how to share the Gospel in a new, creative way with the Evangecube, and then, how to plant churches. These young pastors went out and started to share the Gospel, and about 90 to 100 people came to Christ in the villages. As a result of that, seven new churches are going to be started.” There is danger involved with ministry in this region. Please pray for safety for new believers and evangelists. “They’re going to have pressure to stay where they are. When they start to worship, it doesn’t take too long before word gets out. So the biggest matter at hand is safety for these believers, because we all know that to leave Islam there is someone that’s going to want to kill them.”
