Coptic Orthodox Converts Not Recognized in Egypt
An Egyptian Muslim converts to Christianity but the government will not recognize the act. He is currently suing the Egyptian government! This is a brave man and I would ask for prayers on his behalf. Christians in Egypt, of whom the non-Chalcedonian Copts are by far the largest group, face constant persecution and abuse.
Praying for him right now.
ReplyDeleteAt least they haven't killed him yet. Hooray progress.
