The Joys of Parenthood in Egypt

On a recent trip to Egypt I met Najah. Her story reminded me of just how important medical support is in this region and how thankful I am to the friends and partners of Joyce Meyer Ministries for making it possible. 

Najah’s husband Samir works at a shop that sells cloth and they live in a two-bedroom flat. They have been married for 11 years and were not able to have children, even though they visited with many doctors. Najah visited our medical clinic in Egypt, which is funded by Hand of Hope. Through our clinic she was connected with a gynecologist and after going through treatment, Najah and Samir learned the joyful news…they would finally have the baby they longed for. Today, they have a healthy 6-month-old daughter named Mehra-El. 

This family has received so much joy and happiness and their hearts are truly thankful to God for His blessings in their life. God has used this clinic to reach many who are suffering from sickness and to share the love of Christ with families just like Najah’s. Thanks to our partners and friends who help support this clinic – without it, Mehra-El may not have been born. 


Hand of Hope is the missions arm of Joyce Meyer Ministries. Our goal is simply to help as many hurting people as we possibly can, to alleviate human suffering and to help Christians grow in their faith.
