Behind Closed Doors, God Is Moving
For some women in Egypt, gathering with other believers is only possible in someone’s home. Five home groups supported through Transforming Nations offer a place to pray, share a meal, and find encouragement amid difficult circumstances.
In one group, three mothers meet quietly because their families do not support their faith. One has been unable to attend church for years because of her husband’s opposition. Yet these women continue to seek God and make room for fellowship.
Recently, communion was brought from a church service to their small gathering at home. For one woman, it was the first time in her life that she had received it. Something familiar to many believers became a deeply meaningful first for her.
At another gathering, an evening of board games, dinner, and conversation left a lasting impression on a guest. On the way home, she shared:
“In 15 years of living in Egypt, I have never experienced so much love, acceptance, and genuine hospitality.”
She asked to come to the very next gathering.
These moments help explain why the home groups matter. Around a table, women find people who will listen, pray with them, and welcome them back. For those facing opposition at home, that fellowship is especially precious.
Through this ministry in Egypt, we see God working through ordinary acts of care. A shared meal becomes an opportunity to build trust. A conversation gives someone space to share her struggles. A prayer reminds her that she is not alone.
Please join us in praying for these women: that God will strengthen their faith, bring peace to their families, and continue opening opportunities for fellowship and ministry in Egypt.
