A young Christian youth council boldly handed out dates to a crowd, as is the custom, for ending the daily fast during Ramadan. Two dates and a Bible portion were in every small bag given out. A passing Muslim pointed out that it needed to be an odd number of dates such as three or five, so the team added a date to each package.

They then moved in front of a mosque frequented by the Muslim Brotherhood, some of whom were impressed by the believers’ lack of fear and thus accepted the gift bags. Overall, 60,000 Bibles were distributed nationally in the past year. Believers have a goal of two million in the next five to ten years.

How to pray :
* Praise God for the boldness of these young Christians in Egypt.
* Praise God that He kept them safe, and that the response of Muslims was generally so positive.
* Praise God for the Bibles that were distributed during Ramadan.
* Ask God that these Bibles will be read, and will come alive to the readers.

• Ask for the salvation of those who were open to receive these Bibles.
