Dear Free Indeed Ministries Intercessors,
Daniel and Robby Mission Trip to Egypt
August 29-September 8, 2018
A Brief Report
Our sense before, during and after this mission trip is that it was significant in our Father’s kingdom culture. Thank you for your large part in making it possible!

- The dates chosen for the dedication and all the flights were good; your prayer and financial support were over the top.
- Our friend and spiritual father, Pastor Nathan Georggi, sacrificed himself greatly to welcome, host, take us around and interpret for us. We were deeply moved; this is what our Lord meant when he said, Love each other as I have loved you, i.e. give your life.
- The dedication of the new church building Friday evening, August 31st, was top-notch with emcee Nathan Georggi, worship leaders, invited dignitaries bringing greetings and a sanctuary full of pastors and people all worshiping. The spiritual foundation was laid in prayer for a significant Lighthouse in the region. The congregation was then able to start meeting and growing.
- We were able to minister in each of the other five churches as well. We were favorably impressed with all of the six pastors and the people in each congregation. It was a wonderful time of relationship-connecting and building. The Church in Egypt is alive and well. And we are well connected with them over a relational bridge.
- Relationally, it was the best of my four and Robby’s two trips to Egypt.
- Early one morning looking out the window in the apartment where we stayed, I sensed many angels coming down from heaven and then fanning out 360 degrees to their assignments.
- It was essential and a blessing that Robby and I both came to Egypt this time.
- We understand much more about this fruitful ministry than ever before. We sense that our interrelationships can continue and that there may be another trip to come in the future.
- On our one afternoon to see the sights, we visited Tahrir Square where the 2011 Revolution took place, nearby Kasr El Dobara Evangelical Church, Boulaq Assembly of God, where Nathan pastored and raised his family, and the large Market close by where Nathan’s son Joseph has his textile business. Then back to near where Nathan lives in Shubra Al Kheima for a dinner of khosari, the national dish of Egypt.
- We have some pictures from each of the congregations and the sights that we would be pleased to share with you. With your request and permission, I can email you a link to a picture album on Google Photos. Or I could send photos a few at a time on a number of emails with brief explanations of what you are seeing. Email me if you would like either. I may get them posted on our Free Indeed Ministries International Facebook page as well.
Answered Prayers for September 2018
