Founded in 1930, The Evangelical Church at Basion once functioned primarily as a small American elementary school. By the early 2000s, however, the church was in decline as members slowly left the area, migrating towards larger cities. Eventually, no members were left, and no pastor was willing to serve the church in Basion.

And so, for 15 years, The Evangelical Church at Basion closed, and its building sat empty. Until recently.

As part of their initiative to revitalize the village churches throughout Egypt, the Pastoral, Outreach, and Mission Council (POMC) of the Synod of the Nile got involved and sent an evangelistic pastor to Basion to revitalize the church.

At The Outreach Foundation, we are continually inspired by the vibrant and courageous ministry of our partner, the Evangelical Presbyterian Church of Egypt. We are deeply grateful for your support and prayers, which empower this church to fulfill its mission. Today, we are happy to share a glimpse of how God is moving through our partners in Egypt.

A Year of Steadfast Faith, Hope, and Diligence

This year has been a powerful witness to God's work through the Pastoral and Outreach Ministries Council of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church of Egypt (EPCE). Thanks to the generous hearts of those who stand alongside this ministry, lives are transformed, and hope is born.
