As other Christian organizations that support missionary efforts in Egypt continue to monitor the instability in the North African country, one group has growing concerns about the safety of its personnel in that nation. Christian Aid partner organizations in Egypt report heavy looting and violence, and say families are guarding their property and their lives.
Christian missions in that country have had a very difficult year, reports Bill Bray, Christian Aid development director. In 2010, he says there were "probably more martyrs, more jailings [and] more difficulties for the Christian church and mission organizations we support in that country.
As banks are closed and ATM machines are out of cash, Christian Aid is further concerned about how families will secure sufficient food if the situation continues. Bray also warns that many of the Islamic extremist groups are highly organized and can quickly take over these monuments resulting in hurt to the Church.
