Dear friends,

This is a blessed and busy time here in Egypt, and we need your prayers!

The Cairo International Bookfair will open to the public tomorrow!! Last year, the Bookfair witnessed an exceptional public turnout of 5.5 million visitors! We are launching many new publications, and are very excited about a new Family Bible, highly subsidized, designed specially to help families read God's Word and strengthen their faith together.

As in previous years, we’ll be having digital competitions on our Bible App, 3x each day and each with 3 daily winners who receive discount coupons for our products. We also have the large touchscreens at our booths with onsite competitions, just to get people interacting with the Scriptures. Click here to see some visuals and feedback from previous years!

Please be praying with us for Divine Encounters, that the Lord will work in hearts, and there will be much fruit as seeds of God’s Word are generously sown during this strategic opportunity!

As this is the mid-year school break, it’s a very busy time for many of our other activities - Mobile Bible World tours, various Bible Quiz competitions, and Bible Study training conferences. So, we would really appreciate your prayers for our team during this very exhausting next couple of weeks!!

As we finish up the Christmas Backpack distribution, church leaders and Sunday-School teachers are so grateful for the support, thankful for the beautifully illustrated Bibles and story books that really help children understand and engage with God's Word.

And we Thank You for your part in making this happen! Thank you for your prayers and support for the Bible outreach in Egypt.

With deep gratitude for your partnership,

The Bible Society of Egypt
