Prayer is one of the most powerful tools when we’re starting work to bring the gospel to unreached people, so please join us in lifting up our Egyptian partners and the Nubian people.

The Nubian people can be traced back to Moses and even Noah, and yet the vast majority of them today have never heard the gospel.

Most any Sunday school class features the story of Noah and the ark at some point. The familiar words are “Then the Lord said to Noah, ‘Go into the ark, you and all your household, for I have seen that you are righteous before me in this generation.’” (Genesis 7:1, ESV).

World Challenge’s partners in Egypt are helping women escape terrible home situations and building up their faith in a heavenly Father who loves them.

God is consoling the broken hearts of those who have lost loved ones and giving them hope for the future.

Rana* arrived at a conference held by World Challenge’s partners, and she sat and wept the entire time. Concerned, members of the team approached her and asked her what had happened. Tearfully, Rana explained that her husband had died only eight months earlier.

God is a healer who knows every way in which our heart, mind and body is burdened by the curse of sin. 

World Challenge’s partners are working to build a meaningful community for widows in northern Egypt.

For Talia*, a woman from a small village in northern Egypt, loneliness had become a way of life.

Earlier this year, Talia lost her husband to COVID-19. He was healthy and young, so his death was unexpected. Life for a widow in the rural villages of Egypt is difficult under any circumstances, but the fact that Talia’s husband died of COVID-19 made it exponentially worse.
