LOUIS PASSEBOIS

By Louis Passebois

Egypt

CAIRO.—We have met with many encouragements, and the Lord is answering the prayers of his people. One of our laborers has been working in Alexandria, and reports a good interest in that place. We have reason to believe that in a short time a church will be organized there. Alexandria resembles a European city, and affords excellent opportunities for work among the Italians and Greeks. Our native worker is now at Assuan. He reports a good interest, and asks especially for the prayers of the brethren and sisters, that he may have power to preach the message to those of his own tongue. He is the only worker that understands the Arabic language, but we hope that some others will soon join him in the work. We have just received a letter from a native evangelist, saying that after careful study of our views, he is convinced that they are right, and has decided to be among those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus Christ. He is doing what he can to let the light of truth shine to those around him.

In the church in Cairo, although the enemy is not asleep, we thank the Lord for the victory won, and that the power of the Holy Spirit has been manifested in many ways. We thank him also for the spirit of sacrifice. A Bulgarian man has accepted the truth. Brethren, pray for us and the work in Egypt, that the Lord may accomplish his purpose through us, and that souls may be brought into the kingdom.
