Christ Our Hope: Luxor, Egypt
Where can true hope be found?
On November 6th, Dr. Michael A. Youssef will return to Egypt, the country of his birth, to proclaim the answer to that question to approximately 1,500 people at Leading The Way’s Christ Our Hope Gospel event in Luxor. This is the second of three Christ Our Hope Gospel events across the Middle East, following the first gathering in Amman, Jordan, where 500 people made decisions for Christ.
Upper Egypt, where Luxor sits, is just a few hours from where Dr. Youssef grew up. He knows the people, their culture, their struggles, and their spiritual needs firsthand. That understanding gives him unique credibility and authority as he proclaims the Good News of Christ.
We’ve already seen the massive spiritual hunger in Egypt—and we believe the harvest is ready. In 2023, Leading The Way held a Gospel event in Cairo where nearly 8,000 people made decisions for Christ—almost half of those in attendance. As Dr. Youssef returns to Egypt, he returns with a deep love for the people and a burden for them to know the Truth of Christ.
In the days leading up to Christ Our Hope in Luxor, Dr. Youssef will join local church leaders to equip and encourage pastors in Egypt, training them in evangelism and discipleship in preparation for the city-wide outreach.
A Region with Rich Christian Heritage
Egypt was once a majority Christian nation—and Upper Egypt, where Luxor sits, was at the heart of it. In the early centuries of the church, as Christianity spread rapidly, believers transformed Luxor's ancient temples into places of Christian worship, painting murals of Christ and early church figures directly over the pharaonic carvings.
But history took a different turn, and today Christians represent roughly 10% of Egypt's population. Right now, Egyptians are facing real pressure: economic hardship that has left millions struggling to meet basic needs, and a regional conflict whose consequences ripple through daily life.
At Leading The Way’s Christ Our Hope Gospel event in Luxor, God will once again open the door for Dr. Youssef to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ—the only hope for Egypt.
