If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we would find in each person's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility. -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Wamileleh/Yesu , Jesus,المسيح

An oasis of refuge and renewal....

Welcome to Maadi Community Church!

What a breath of fresh air it is when you walk down the streets of Maadi, into a tent filled with people worshiping the God of this place. From over 40 denominations people come for renewal. The church consists of every race, ethnicity, culture, language...you name it! There are people here working for American oil companies to africans seeking refuge. Did you know there are 4 million Sudanese refugees in Cairo?

For two weeks Ben and I have been attending the Africa Live service. Partly because I truly believe I am african at heart. And we have never seen people worship like these people.


We have both been plugged right in to the needs of MCC and are thanking God everyday for where he has placed us, and for this place. I am working some with the children's ministry and we both are kind of "go to" people if the youth needs anything. Ben has actually had the opportunity of playing for the first youth night, which was wonderful, and he will probably play for a small group we might join. He truly has a gift.

This church is extremely rich in character, and I hope some of you have the opportunity to come see us and see the one place we feel at home in God's kingdom.

Wamileleh Wamileleh mubah barakahni Yesu weh!!!

Grace,
SL
