Persecution against Christians in Egypt happens mostly at the community level. Incidents occur most frequently in Upper Egypt and vary from Christian women being harassed while walking in the street, to Christian communities being driven out of their homes by extremist mobs.
Although Egypt's government speaks positively about Egypt's Christian community, the lack of serious law enforcement and the unwillingness of local authorities to protect Christians leave them vulnerable to all kinds of attacks, especially in Upper Egypt.
Furthermore, in contrast to how mosques and Islamic organizations are dealth with, churches and Christian non-governmental organizations are restricted in their ability to build new churches or run social service programs. Christians of all backgrounds face difficulties in finding new places for communal worship.
Christians from a Muslim background often have great difficulty in living out their faith since they face enormous pressure from their families to return to Islam. The state also makes it impossible for them to get any official recognition of their conversion.
Pray for the release of all Christians imprisoned or held captive, and for the safety of all Christians as they go about their daily lives.
Pray for an end to all false accusations and senseless attacks against Christians, and that there will be an urgency in local police forces to seek justice for all wrongdoing.
Pray that Christians in Egypt will have courage and wisdom to shine the light of Christ brightly in their communities.
Thank you so much for praying with our persecuted brethren, like the Bible tells us to in Hebrews 13.3 and other verses. May God bless you for your faithfulness.
