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."
The EvangeCube is made up of eight blocks connected at strategic points. Through a series of six maneuvers, seven panels are revealed which illustrate God's plan for salvation through Jesus' death and resurrection. The EvangeCube unfolds the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the answer to life's greatest puzzle.
Outside of evangelism, resourcing these new churches is another challenge, aside from weathering harassment in a heavily Islamic region. E3Partners has an array of tools available to respond to this need. Evangecubes, tracts, personal evangelism training materials, Pray Power prayer guides and an array of tools for winning souls, making disciples, training leaders and praying effectively. The EvangeCube also adds a personal touch to the Gospel presentation. "These young pastors went out and started to share the Gospel, and about 90 to100 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."
