Wonderful Hosts
We were hosted by His Grace Bishop Anba Thomas, founder of the Anaphora Monastery, along with a willing team of around 80 people. Not only had we found an incredible venue but also a deeply spiritual and loving community.
The Churches Say YES
Our conference titled, "So The World May Know" was organized in partnership with the Egyptian Council of Churches. This endorsement of the JC2033 project, especially on the opening night, brought a tangible sense of brotherly love and fraternity.
The Strength of a Vision
It was humbling to see how inspiring the JC2033 vision would be in this region where many Christians face problems for their faith in Jesus. Others had never physically witnessed such a diversity of Christians in one place. One participant described it as a small taste of heaven.
Broadcast to Millions
By God's grace, our gathering of approximately 250 delegates, was broadcast live on Satellite TV by our media partner Sat7. With an audience of 2 million per session across the Arab speaking world, more people would hear about the JC2033 project than ever before.
The Power of Prayer and Fasting
One key for our time together was a special prayer room that was set up on-site and run by JC2033 friends Shadi and Ruth Abadir. Other prayer teams also traveled long distances to be part of this 24/7 prayer and fasting effort.
Global Ambassadors for JC2033
The final day was our Ambassador Day, this year attended by some new faces from the Middle East. Over 20 countries were represented including now familiar faces from our global network. It was a fitting way to end our gathering.
