A week before a short term worker came to Egypt, they fell and sprained their ankle. Upon arrival in Egypt, the foot was still swollen and painful. The team leader asked a friend, who is a Muslim doctor, to take a look at the ankle. When the doctor came he filled a bucket with hot water and salt, kneeled down and started to clean the team member’s feet. Then he ran to the nearest pharmacy and brought back cream for the pain and medication for the inflammation. The following three nights he stopped by to check on the foot and have fellowship with the team.

“I was humbled by his compassion for me, that He would go out of his way to care so kindly for me and my foot,” reported the injured team member. “I saw the Love of God in this Muslim Doctor who is so close to getting to know the Lord. Pray that He would also experience God’s love for him.”

Later, the team leader also visited a muslim family where the mother had just been diagnosed with cancer. Prior to the visit the short term team spent time in prayer for the team leader’s conversations. Following the visit the team leader reported that during their conversation, one son admitted that Jesus died on the cross, a huge step for a Muslim!

Please continue praying for this family who are honestly seeking answers.
