Yesterday, on the Lord’s Day, I preached twice for the Sidi Bischr church in Alexandria, Egypt. The sanctuary is small and L-shaped, with the men packed in on one side and the women on the other. There are two more overflow rooms upstairs. Wherever we go, we meet people who have afflictions. Several expressed relief at understanding how God brings us closer to Him through His silence and through difficulties. Afterward, we went to Sherif and Marian’s house with a number of other church leaders from the local church and from other countries. We had wonderful fellowship. We are in awe of the dedication that many make for the cause of Christ. The Lord granted us a sweet, special Sabbath.
