Jesus is Lord over Egypt

We salute the wonderful children and families of Egypt, knowing that Jesus is Lord over that nation. Mighty Sound Kids is delighted to play a small part in that Egypt is one of the top ten countries viewing the Mighty Sound Kids videos on YouTube. In fact, the videos have been viewed over 27,000 minutes in Egypt as of today.

Seeing all this activity caused us to look further into Christianity in Egypt. It is a minority religion in Egypt and nearly all are Copts, followers of the Coptic Orthodox Church. According to Open Doors there is increased persecution of Christians in Egypt and yet there is a small but growing community of Christian converts (Muslim Background Believers, MBBs), who bear the brunt of persecution, most often from family members. Believers are often kicked out of their homes when their Muslim families find out about their faith.

Nonetheless, Jesus is Lord over Egypt and God is in control. Pray for this country and its people that they may be blessed with the freedom that only Jesus can bring them. More Lord for Egypt! May His Love rule and reign.

We salute the wonderful children and families of Georgia, knowing that Jesus is Lord over that nation. Mighty Sound Kids is delighted to play a small part in that Georgia is one of the top ten countries viewing the Mighty Sound Kids videos on YouTube. In fact, the videos have been viewed for over 30,000 minutes in Georgia as of today.

Seeing all this activity caused us to look further into Christianity in Georgia. It appears that 82% of the population in Georgia practices Orthodox Christianity, primarily the Georgian Orthodox Church. Of these, around 2% follow the Russian Orthodox Church, around 5.9% (almost all of whom are ethnic Armenians) follow the Armenian Apostolic Church and 0.8% are Roman Catholics and are mainly found in the south of Georgia but with a small number in its capital, Tbilisi.

Nonetheless, Jesus is Lord over Georgia and God is in control. Pray for this country and its people that they may be blessed with the freedom that only Jesus can bring them. More Lord for Georgia! May His Love rule and reign.
