A Message
From Father
Daoud Lamie:
Dear Beloved,
Since 2001, great miracles have been
happening in Egypt. Earlier on, many
people believed that great and positive
changes would take place; however
as the days progressed and darkened,
it seemed that all hopes were in vain.
These dark days seemed like the ten
plagues in Egypt, which occurred during
the days of Moses and Pharaoh. As
Egyptians hoped for a great miracle, the
cries of the churches both in and out of
Egypt could be heard around the world.
It seemed that the sea had parted and
the path to salvation was clear. Water
stood on both sides and guarded
the people of God with minor losses
and great gains. For the first time in
centuries, the world saw how the Copts
fought their fight in the ideal Christian
way, with love and prayers.

Light for Orphans Annual Boat Cruise
Great Gifts Come in
Small Packages
“Even a child is known by his deeds,
Whether what he does is pure and right.”
Proverbs 20:11
O
n this year’s annual boat cruise,
someone very small, yet very
special, blessed Light for
Orphans in an extraordinary way. Last
month, this young boy came forth with
a very large (and VERY heavy) coin bag.
When asked how much he wanted to
share with the orphans in Egypt, he
exclaimed, “All of it!” To see the purity
and simplicity of this child’s heart was
beautiful. With full assurance that God
would provide all of His needs, He gave
everything freely. He was not weighed
down by his personal needs or wants.
He did not think to put some money
aside for a rainy day.
