Since the Muslim Brotherhood took power in Egypt, Christians have been the targets of violence but this appears not to have crushed the growth of the church in Egypt, it was reported in October.

Reports say that every Friday there is a big group of the Muslim Brotherhood who try to regain power, and they fight with the army and police. They appear to want to destroy the country and attack many churches. More than 80 churches have been burned, with many Christians killed.

Message of forgiveness

But while the violence has been difficult, churches have remained united, and people are praying all the time.The response to the violence against burned churches has also been remarkable. Christians posted signs on their burned-out churches that read: ‘You burned our church, but we love you’.
