No Way Out: A campaign by Christian Solidarity Worldwide
Egyptian Christians need your support now more than ever.
After living with the threat of discrimination, harassment or violence for decades, they are highly vulnerable.
This long-planned campaign has the chance to bring hope and change to Egypt's Christians as the vital reform process begins.
Speak up for Egypt’s Coptic community
As peaceful protests turned violent in Cairo this week, we need your help to speak up for Egyptian Christians in the face of increasing sectarian attacks.
Peaceful demonstrations led to bloodshed on Sunday as a crowd of thousands of Coptic men, women and children, and Muslims who supported their cause, were effectively ambushed by the security forces while protesting the destruction of a church in Marinab. The actual death toll may be as high as 41 according to some sources, with hundreds injured.
The protestors were seeking investigations into a series of attacks against Christians this year, including the destruction of the church in the southern province of Aswan.
There are just two weeks left for you to sign the No Way Out petition – take this chance to use your voice to speak up for Egypt’s Christians!
Thank you for your continuing prayers for Egypt’s Christians, please pray:
For peace to return to Egypt’s main cities after the weekend’s protests, which left hundreds injured and over 25 dead. Ask God to comfort the bereaved and bring healing to all who were injured Pray for the family of a Coptic man who was violently, dragged, kicked and beaten by 15-20 police officers. Pray for a peaceful and just resolution of the situation in Merinab, southern Egypt, where a church was destroyed by a violent mob recently. Ask God to protect and strengthen Egypt’s Coptic community, as this year has seen an increase in hostilities towards them. In the midst of disinformation from the media and SCAF, pray for the truth of the protests to be reported. Pray that a just and fair government would emerge for Egypt, which will prosper all Egyptians. Pray for the continuing emergence of a common Egyptian identity that supersedes religious and other affiliations
Bumping this.

RF, thank you for posting this — all us Christians must pray or do more for our Coptic brethren.

Our Coptic brethren have in a way been betrayed by us in the US when the Obama regime let Mubarak fall and be replaced by these Christian-baiters.
Pray for the emergence of a common Egyptian identity that worships Christ, our Lord - true freedom.
i join cronos in thanking RF for posting this.
may i also suggest everyone contact their representative and senators to urge them to cut off aid to Egypt until the persecution against Christians ends.
Thank you for posting! I have been praying. I also have been seeing coverage on the internet for months. The Networks have not been covering until now.
I just signed. Also gave my e-mail. I got a quick response back. I am very concerned. Thanks.
