"I wouldn't want to be anywhere else in the world but Egypt right now, because God is moving. Certainly, it's dangerous, but God is moving in such a powerful way." -Tom Doyle

(Egypt)–Although a nervous calm seems to have descended on Egypt following weeks of unrest and violence, reports from the embattled country indicate Christians are bracing for more attacks as they know the Muslim Brotherhood won't "go away quietly."

Still, despite the chaos, E3 Partners Middle East expert Tom Doyle says Christian leaders are excited because the Church is seeing great growth, noting that 20 years ago, it was rare to hear of a Muslim becoming a Christian, but now it's common, and happening in amazing ways.

"They privately sought out Christians," he said, "learned more about Jesus, started reading the Bible, and came to faith in Him. This is something we see as normal today."

A report in Mission Network News quotes Doyle as saying evangelists often use a puzzle-like cube with pictures to share the Gospel with Muslims who have had visions or dreams about Jesus. Recently, he says, a Believer "was sharing the Gospel using the EvangeCube and this was the same picture that they saw in their dream of Jesus on the cross for them. How amazing is that?"
