On Sunday evening, we were driven one hour to another part of Cairo, to Mark and Rosie Abdo’s apartment, where Rosie cooked us a delicious meal. Along the way, men were stationed on tops of buildings along the busy road. Sherif thought a dignitary, maybe the President, was expected to pass by. I preached in Mark’s home church, Ain Shams Presbyterian Evangelical Church, on Jesus maturing the faith of believers, with Sherif interpreting into Arabic. A man came up to us afterward saying, “I am going through a deep trial, but now I feel God’s strength and encouragement.” The other picture is of Sherif and I chatting with a friendly man who wanted to make sure I was being well taken care of!
