Egypt: A Harvest of Hope - Wheat for the Vulnerable and Persecuted Christians

In a remote village in Egypt, a small field of wheat is making a big impact.

What began as a simple vision — to provide both food and jobs for vulnerable Christian families — has now reached a major milestone. With Phase 2 of our wheat project complete, we’re celebrating a successful harvest and preparing to move into the final and most rewarding stage: distribution.

The Journey So Far

This project was broken into three intentional phases:

  • Phase 1: Planting five acres (over 20,000 square meters) of wheat, tended with care by local farmers.
  • Phase 2: Harvesting the mature fields and carefully threshing and packing the wheat into large sacks, ready for the next step.
  • Phase 3 (coming soon): Distributing tens of tons of wheat to around 2,000 Christian villagers who face daily persecution and economic hardship.

These are families who often feel forgotten by the world — but not by us, and not by you.

Jobs and Dignity for Local Farmers

This project is not just about food. It's about dignity. By employing 45 farmers, we’ve provided meaningful work and steady provision for over 350 of their family members. Some of the harvested wheat will be sold in local markets to help pay these farmers, creating a ripple effect of sustainability and economic relief.

As one farmer told us, “This harvest isn’t just wheat. It’s answered prayers.”

What's Next: Feeding the Forgotten

Now that the wheat is harvested and packed, we move to Phase 3: Distribution.

Over the coming weeks, the wheat will be distributed to approximately 2,000 Christian villagers — families who live in rural poverty, many of whom are marginalized and persecuted for their faith.

This food will provide security, nutrition, and a powerful reminder that they are not alone.

Thank You for Making This Possible

Your generosity and prayers are what make this work possible. You helped plant the seeds. You helped put tools in the hands of farmers. And now, you’re helping fill the tables of thousands of Christian families in Egypt.

We can’t wait to show you the impact of Phase 3. Until then, let this harvest be a reminder:

A little love, planted in faith, can yield a harvest of hope.
