During our interview with Dr. Sameh Maurice, Pastor of Kasr El Dobara Church, Cairo, Egypt, we asked him pertinent questions regarding how he instructed his congregation for the 40 day fast in 2010. As leaders, we don't always know how to prepare our people for such an event, and Pastor Sameh gives us great tools as he shares his perspective and thoughts on the practical side of leadership for this kind of event.
In the long version of the 40 Days to Fast and Pray video interview, you will hear a bit more about the revolution than in the short version. Pastor Sameh shares what was happening spiritually behind the scenes... details that the news reporters couldn't see happening in the churches... prayer for the nation of Egypt, to be specific. They are "still in the midst of it" as he says. He also said that God answers prayer sometimes in a way that we don't expect, but God is sovereign and always wants the ultimate best for us.
As we set our hearts on truly seeking the Lord, humbling ourselves as Pastor Sameh exhorts, this video will enrich your vision and challenge you to boldness and perseverance in prayer. Leadership can be challenging, but we are called to lead by our example. I Peter 5:2-3 says, "Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, watching over them - not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be... not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock."
We pray this video interview directed for leadership will encourage you and give you a few more tools to use for this season of prayer. May God richly bless you as we unite together and humble ourselves across denominational lines to pray for a renewed hunger to seek the Lord and a spiritual awakening in our land. Less
