Story number 2 for 15 Nov 2000

Next, Christians around the world are being asked to pray for Gospel meetings in Egypt. Greg Yoder is there with the story. “Prayer started the week as more than 600 churches from many denominations will be participating in Gospel meetings with Reverend Sammy Tippit. Pastor Semeh Maurice Tawfik is the co-pastor of the host church in Cairo. Pastor Sameh says much work must be done each day in order for the Gospel to be heard. “To record and then to duplicate this message into 600 or whatever the number will be. And, then a team will take these videos to be delivered to 12 different locations using planes, trains, cars, using all kinds of transportation.” Pastor Sameh says the lives of couriers could be in danger and prayer is needed. If the videos reach the churches in time he’s expecting more than 130-thousand Egyptians to hear the Gospel. The meeting begin Thursday. Greg Yoder, Mission Network News, Cairo.”
