Pray for Egypt's Great Awakening

I knew after the events of yesterday, Joel Rosenberg would have quite a bit to say worth hearing. You may read all of it for yourself here, Joel Rosenberg, but let me give you a quick synopsis:
  • Joel Rosenberg will be on Fox News Sunday at 12:20 pm central time, to discuss the fall of Mubarak.
  • There are estimated 2.5 million followers of Jesus Christ in Egypt today.
  • They are facing harassment and persecution.
  • Our job as believers around the world at this moment of turmoil, change and uncertainty is to stand with our brothers and sisters in Egypt, encourage them, pray for them, provide whatever training or resources they need, and provide some funding if possible to help them proclaim the gospel, make disciples, train new pastors, plant new churches, care for the poor and needy, and minister to the people in many other ways.
  • Read about the famous "garbage" church. Reading this makes me want to go there, makes me want to worship there!
  • Mr. Rosenberg ends with this - We know through Isaiah 19 that the future of Egypt is going to get far worse in the last days before the return of Christ. We also know that eventually Egypt will experience a great national awakening.
Pull away sometime in the next few days to pray for believers in Egypt. The timing is crucial for our prayers - regimes are changing before our very eyes. Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
