80% of the world’s evangelical Christians live in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Over the last 50 years, God’s church has grown exponentially in these areas.

These regions have tremendous mission sending potential to help bring the gospel to unreached peoples, but they currently send only 20% of the world’s cross-cultural missionaries!

Egypt&rsquo;s Nile Delta region is a land of abandoned church buildings. For centuries, the church in the Delta has faced severe persecution from radical Islam, and in the early 2000s, many had to flee their homes and cities. The region is home to half the country&rsquo;s population&mdash;including 55 million Muslims&mdash;yet there are few remaining evangelical churches.&nbsp;

A Renewed Church in a Muslim Community&nbsp;

But where many see ruins claimed by fear and spiritual drought, Pastor Ayman sees potential. In fact, he is determined to reclaim one of these abandoned properties and plant a new church within its densely populated Muslim community. What&rsquo;s more, Ayman is not alone; he&rsquo;s part of a coalition of pastors and church planters who have a vision to plant 100 churches within the Delta region by 2029.

Delta Project&mdash;a Model of Catalytic Church-Planting Partnerships

However, planting 100 churches in staunchly Muslim communities requires seed funding and significant dedication. To make this possible, Via is connecting Delta Project church planters with American and Egyptian churches. The goal is for Western and Egyptian churches to each cover half the needed funding for five years to support and empower these pastors revitalizing the church in the Delta.
As this is being written, Via staff, along with pastors from Minnesota, Michigan, and Cairo, are visiting the ruins pictured to the left with new Egyptian church planters. Please pray for the Delta Project partnerships and church-planting efforts. If your church would like to <a href="https://www.vianations.org/give/egypt-delta-region-project" rel="follow">join in on the partnership, let us know</a>!
