A Day of Stark Contrasts

Marilyn and travelers at Cave Church

Inside Cave Church

Captivated by the story of the Cave Church

Back in Cairo, Marilyn took the group tour to one of the most unusual places of worship in the world—a church built in a cave and decorated with beautiful wall carvings!

These cave churches were dug out of a mountain over the last 32 years and stand as a testimony to the over-coming faith and determination of a group of Christians committed to God—no matter the obstacle or the sacrifice. Imagine digging through a mountain, removing tons of rock and debris and chiseling these stunning works of art—under political scrutiny and intense religious persecution. Marilyn and the travelers felt honored to visit such a sacred and meaningful place.

In stark contrast to the majestic wall carvings found in the cave churches, Marilyn and the travelers visited Cairo’s Garbage City—the site of one of the most amazing stories of love and transformation found anywhere on earth. For 30 years Father Samaan (see video) and his wife have dedicated their lives to sharing the gospel and helping a group of people living in the midst the cities garbage dump—of all places! The 7,000 trash collectors and their families are literally outcasts shunned by society. Today the majority of them are Christians because of one man’s vision and commitment to share the love of God with them. Marilyn was excited to visit the city and church, and to show her team of travelers first-hand this showcase of God’s transforming power!

Wow is the word of the day!

Today, we’ve discovered 5,000 years of Egypt’s glorious history. After every site visit we walked away inspired. Sites around Luxor have been captivating tourists for thousands of years. Now it’s our turn!

Cruising the Nile River–in style

Marilyn, her ministry team, and 121 travelers from 25 states, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, and Uganda are sailing today on a 4-day Nile River teaching cruise. Along the way, Marilyn is teaching an in-depth study on the Old Testament Names of God and their significance to Christians today.

One of the travelers had a special testimony to share! He was miraculously healed while watching Today with Marilyn and Sarah. Previously confined to a wheelchair and unable to walk he is now touring the sites alongside Marilyn and the other travelers—and no wheelchair. What an honor to witness the miracle healing power of God!

Our Explore Egypt Tour Has Begun!

Marilyn, her team, and 130 travelers arrived in Cairo today for 10 incredible days of fun, travel, and teaching.

Tomorrow, we’ll fly to Luxor and board the Royal Lily for a 4-day cruise down the Nile River. Marilyn will spend the 4 days of the cruise teaching the Bible.

Everyone is so excited to see the Sphinx, Luxor, the Valley of the Kings, Edfu, Aswan, and the Great Pyramids of Giza, one of the original Seven Wonders of the World. Back in Cairo, we’ll visit Garbage City and worship at the Cave Churches outside the city. She shared an exciting video about Father Samaan and his work in in Garbage City in anticipation of their visit there. [Click here to watch the video Marilyn showed.]

Please pray that we’ll be a blessing to the nation and people of Egypt. We’ll keep you posted with future updates as they come in.

Join Us in Prayer for Uganda

A fire at the Budo Junior School dormitory in Kampala, Uganda killed 19 school girls and two adults Monday night. This heartbreaking story comes just weeks after Marilyn spent several inspiring days in Uganda building relationships and joining her faith with the believers there.

Uganda, Ethiopia, and the entire  nation of Africa hold a very special place in the hearts of Marilyn, Sarah and all of MHM and we feel God is knitting our hearts together with this country and its people. Please join us as we pray for this school community and for the families of those who lost loved ones in this tragic fire.

Sarah’s Update on Her ORU Trip

I just had the unbelievable privilege of speaking at the Oral Roberts University chapel. For me this was probably one of the greatest highlights of the year. I’ve dreamed of speaking in chapel for more than 10 years. This was an amazing honor! One of the reasons this is so meaningful to me is that I’m an alumni of ORU.

ORU, which opened its doors in 1965, is located in Tulsa, OK, and has an enrollment of 3,082. This was a great opportunity for me to “give back” to the students and college.

I shared about the importance of keeping our eyes on Jesus, based on Hebrews 12:2 and the importance of “looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith…” Let’s ALL keep our eyes on Jesus!

Enthusiastic and Anointed Services

Over the weekend, Marilyn ministered to more than 3800 people at Christ Family Church International in Johannesburg, South Africa.  Those in attendance loved Marilyn’s simple yet powerful teaching of 5 Ways to Heal the Sick and an awesome anointing was evident in each service.  There were over 100 salvations and over 450 baptisms in the Holy Spirit.  Numerous healings of back problems, arthritis, growths, tumors, allergies, and asthma were also reported.   

Reaching South Africa

Marilyn has traveled from Uganda to South Africa.  On Wednesday, she spoke at The Bay Christian Family Church.  A youthful crowd of over 650 were eager to hear Marilyn share “8 Ways to Heal the Sick.”   The audience was very receptive and over 40 people stood for healing from back problems, growths, and tumors.  Over 140 people received the baptism of the Holy Spirit! 

On Thursday, Marilyn taped four teachings on the subject of wisdom for the Bay Christian Family Church.  The tapings went very well and Marilyn’s teaching was anointed and very powerful. 

God is using Marilyn to reach thousands in South Africa with His Word.
