About Mission Trips to Egypt
It is entirely possible that Egypt is the oldest tourist destination on the planet. Even the ancient Greeks and Romans traveled to this fascinating land to see the Pyramids, the temples and the Nile. It is ironic that the people who once worshipped “Ra” (the sun-god) have endured centuries of spiritual darkness. From Pharaonic dominance, to Islamic rule, now we, as Christians, must learn to embrace our Muslim half-brothers and half-sisters in Egypt with God’s love and tell them of the saving power of Jesus Christ.
Ministry in Egypt
Special Outreach
Team members are encouraged to learn as much as possible about this area of the world, their culture, and their religion previous to the trip. Global Infusion will be providing each person with adequate and approved reading material. Once in-country, there are a variety of outreaches that allow us to show the love of God to our Muslim brothers and sisters. We frequently engage in teaching and training, working with children, widow’s ministry, people living in a trash city and refugees from both Syria and Sudan.
Medical Outreach
Teams will have the option to participate in a mobile medical clinic, supervised by our contact, who is a licensed medical doctor. The team will assist at many levels including preliminary diagnoses, pharmaceuticals, medical education, and spending quality one-on-one time with the people. Those who have no medical training or background will participate in several basic medical-training sessions. Everyone will have the opportunity to help at the clinic. Health-care professionals will certainly be utilized to the extent of their training and abilities.
