Christian put out a prayer alert for Egypt.

Egypt (MNN)–The President of the Egyptian Baptist Union urges prayer for a local church.

According to the Baptist World Alliance one church was suddenly closed by the police for no apparent reason.

The closure repeats a similar situation that was eventually resolved a few years ago. The El Antara Gharb church is one of twelve churches in the small union that has approximately 1800 members.

Wahba Gayeed Beshara, president of the Egyptian union, asks prayer for wisdom to handle this sensitive situation and for the doors of the church to open freely once again.

The BWA unites Baptists worldwide, leads in world evangelism, responds to people in need and defends human rights.
