Mona and Michael are zealous disciples dedicated to sharing their faith and helping those in need, particularly within their community in Egypt. Mona grew up in a Christian family and found comfort in her faith after a difficult childhood marked by her mother's death. Michael, on the other hand, discovered his faith in Jesus later in life. Together, they felt called to ministry and have committed their lives to sharing the hope and love that can only be found in Jesus.

Listen as they talk about Christian persecution faced by believers in Egypt, including discrimination in employment and education. These hardships have led church members to rely on one another. As Mona says, "The church becomes our family. We need each other."

Muslims who choose to follow Jesus often face severe persecution from family and community, and at times from the government. They may also face severe pressure from a Muslim spouse.

Mona reminds us, though, that Muslims around them are not their enemies. They know that the real enemy is the devil and emphasize that we are called to love others in the same way Christ loved us.

Michael and Mona actively support refugees from war-torn countries, including Sudan, providing food and resources regardless of religious background. These acts of care and service often open doors for conversations about faith.

Please pray for followers of Jesus in Egypt to remain strong and to be equipped to help those in need.

-Why do some conservatives seem eager to nuke Tehran?

-Will Charlie finally attend a WNBA game?

When most of us were three years old, we were “creators”, “artists”, and “sculptors” around the kitchen table and in our art classes. But for some reason, at some point, most adults seem to have lost that creative nature. The truth is, we were created by a creative God, in His image. Creation is all around us…creativity is within each one of us. This week on Missions Today, we seek to go deeper into this topic with world-renowned artist Makoto Fujimura. Join us as we learn more about the mission of art and faith, culture care and the importance of creation in each of our lives. That’s on this week’s episode of Missions Today!
