Because of his good works and involvement in the community, the community has given a big piece of land for the church as appreciation for what he has done for the community. Today we see many lives have been transformed and follow Jesus. The members of church grew to more than 200 members, and they felt the urgent need of a church building.

“Kamal is in his thirties,” reports Reaching All Egypt. “He was in deep depression because of the death of his younger brother and father. He was angry with God and refused Him.” A RAE worker “visited him many times and talked about God’s wisdom, and invited him to the meeting. At first, he hesitated to come, then later he came to the church; and there he felt a kind of peace he never experienced before. After attending the meeting several times, Kamal decided to give in to God’s will and get out of the trap that Satan had set for him. He also started to read the Bible, and he began to notice a change in himself. He began to get rid of the feelings of anger and despair; and began to work on his relationships with his family and friends.”
