Our Visit with Safwat Nageeb El-Baiady, President of Protestant Churches of Egypt


During our recent trip to Egypt, we had an opportunity to learn more about how we can continue to minister in the Middle East After our trip ends and we return to the United States. In this Video, Dr. Albert Reyes explains about our trip and introduces us to the man through whom all Evangelical church work must be done through before the Egyptian government. Because of the strict control of Government over Christian activities, there must be one person who knows what is going on in the country and who is accountable to the Muslim favored Government. That man would be: " Safwat Nageeb El-Baiady", President of Protestant Churches of Egypt.

His office was a blessing to see, well decorated and functional for meetings and conferences. His hospitality was superb! If Hispanics are to have an impact there in future work, it would be through Buckner International networking it's connections there, and also through President El-Baiady. This meeting between the two men was a great privilege for me to witness. As an outcome of this meeting, we determined that education was the best way for us to help as the greatest witness right now to this closed culture was to help educate the educational system of Egypt. President El-Baiady suggested that we send teachers, or provide teacher training seminars. The Egyptian government would smile better upon our efforts if we could help them in a tangible way as assisting in their educational system. So, who wants to go to Egypt as a teacher out there?
