President Morsi’s promise to be a president for all Egyptians is increasingly hard to believe for Egypt’s religious minorities. CSW is keeping international decision-makers informed about this situation, but the Copts of Egypt need your prayer support too.

THIS WEEK, PLEASE:

• Ask God to send His Spirit to bring peace, reconciliation and freedom to Egypt as tensions continue to rise, amidst fresh protests.
• Ask God to move in power in the heart of President Morsi to keep his promise to be a president for all Egyptians.
• Pray for peace and comfort for the families of the victims of the Maspero massacre more than a year on from this tragic event, when peaceful Muslim and Christian protestors were attacked by security forces. Twenty seven people lost their lives, and hundreds were injured.
• Ask God to bring those responsible for the Maspero massacre to justice, particularly the senior military officials who ordered it but have yet to be brought to justice.
• Pray for Christian girls who have been abducted, that the Lord would protect them and comfort and strengthen their families.
• Pray for Christian communities and churches who live with the threat of attack and harassment.
• Pray that the new constitution would enhance equality of citizenship and religious freedom, so that Egypt would one day be known as a haven of tolerance for everyone, regardless of their beliefs.
