Ministry Update: Teen Ministry (Egypt)

For the past 22 years, Teen Ministry has profoundly impacted the lives of young girls and women in the garbage district of Cairo, Egypt. The ministry focuses on discipleship and mentorship and operates several discipleship groups where young women are nurtured in their faith, equipped with life skills, and encouraged to grow in their relationships with God.

In the past couple of years, Teen Ministry has also expanded to include boys. The young men and boys growing up in this community often get involved in drugs, gangs, and other destructive behaviors. Some of Teen Ministry’s most dedicated female staff members, who themselves had been transformed by Christ through the ministry, began reaching out to them. By God’s grace, the young men’s group has grown rapidly in just a few months, with boys and young men hungry to experience God’s love and find a new path forward. The leaders share stories of young men who were once violent and troubled but are now giving their lives to Christ and becoming leaders, determined to reach others like them.

Teen Ministry shares that, lately, many young men have been coming to the ministry out of the drug culture, having either done drugs themselves or also sold them. The Lord has been working miraculous transformations in many of their hearts and lives. This is a tough ministry. Teen Ministry rejoices in the Lord’s work and asks for urgent prayers for the Lord to continue working to save these young men and to send additional laborers.
