13TH ANNUAL EGYPT PASTORS CONFERENCE ON EPHESIANS BRINGS REST AND REFRESHMENT

Indigenous Ministries’ 13th Annual Egypt Pastors’ Conference

IM’s 13th annual Egypt Pastors’ Conference brought much-needed rest and refreshment to 70 pastors and church leaders this month. This was our first conference since the homegoing of IMI’s CEO and founder, John Cook, on March 30, making this gathering especially memorable. On Monday night, we reflected on John’s life and the lasting impact he had on these pastors and churches. IM remains committed to glorifying God and equipping national pastors on the front lines. This week was a key part of that mission, investing deeply in national pastors and churches in the Middle East.

The conference focused on the book of Ephesians, under the theme “Our New Life in Christ.” Pastors left with extensive notes and an Arabic commentary on Ephesians to aid their ministry. Many attendees serve small churches or church plants, especially in the poorer region of Upper Egypt. Each year, we provide scholarships for them to attend, offering a rare opportunity for rest and renewal. These pastors often preach four to five times a week while fulfilling many other responsibilities.

Pastors at the 2023 Conference
Pastors gathered attentively for sessions taught by Craig Miller, Ken Ford, Reda Khalil, and Magdi Salieb. God met with us in a special way, bringing encouragement, refreshment, and fellowship. The deep truths of Ephesians were received with gratitude, and pastors expressed how this teaching would help strengthen their ministries.

Thank you to our generous prayer and financial partners who make this ministry possible. Your partnership brings direct impact into the lives of these faithful pastors and the churches they lead.
