2025 Mission Trip to Egypt

By the grace of God, our 2025 mission trip to Egypt (May–August) was richly blessed and fruitful. Below are some of the most significant accomplishments in Cairo:

1. Supporting Vulnerable Women

We conducted numerous case studies and welcomed many women into our programs, particularly those raised in orphanages who, after graduation, faced life without family or relatives to support them.

Among them were widows caring for young children; women whose husbands are incarcerated, leaving them as sole providers; others struggling to survive through illegal and unsafe work; and some who had converted to another religion after being misled by false promises of prosperity.

Through your prayers and generous support, we were able to accept each of them into our assistance programs, helping them live with dignity and renewed hope. Most importantly, we sponsored church-based spiritual services and activities to help them grow in the love and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthening their faith and future.

2. Supporting Individuals with Vision Disabilities

We also conducted case studies for individuals living with vision disabilities, welcoming them into our assistance programs and sponsoring church-based spiritual services to help them experience the love of Christ in their lives.

Thank you for your continued prayers and support. We could not have done this without you.

Our 2024 Mission Trip

By God’s grace, our 2024 mission trip to Egypt, held from May 8 to August 24, was a true blessing. Through your faithful prayers and generous support, we were able to serve communities in 13 villages across Upper Egypt and 5 areas in Cairo.

Together, we reached more than 250 families facing difficult circumstances, including disability, illness, and widowhood. With your partnership, we provided monthly food assistance, medical supplies, debt relief, and support for small business initiatives to help families regain stability and hope.

Most importantly, this mission was not only about meeting physical needs, but also about sharing the love and compassion of our Lord Jesus Christ. Your generosity has brought comfort, dignity, and renewed hope to many lives.

Thank you for standing with us in this ministry of mercy.

Celebrating Our 2024 Gala

On January 21, 2024, we gathered at the Washington Dulles Marriott Hotel for our annual Gala, a night filled with joy and gratitude. With 219 attendees, the event was a resounding success, thanks to your generosity and the hard work of our church clergy, volunteers, and sponsors. Your contributions directly impact the families we serve, and we are so thankful for your unwavering support.

Expanding Our Reach: New Families in Our Disability Program

During our recent mission trip, we were blessed to welcome new families into our disability assistance program, made possible through our collaboration with the Coptic Church. We are overjoyed to share that many families have started their own small businesses with the support of our dedicated volunteers. Additionally, vital medical equipment has been provided to ensure these families can thrive. Your support is planting seeds of hope and empowerment.

A Community Fundraiser at St. Mary Church, Richmond, VA

We held a successful fundraising event at the Festival of St. Mary Church in Richmond, VA, where the love and compassion for our less fortunate brothers and sisters in Egypt was truly inspiring. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this effort. Your kindness helps us bring hope and support to those in need.

Strengthening Our Bond with the Coptic Church

Our mission trip also provided the opportunity to meet esteemed Bishops and Priests of the Coptic Church, solidifying our partnership in serving the community. Their guidance helps us tailor our support programs, ensuring we reach those most in need. Together, we are committed to fostering positive change and making a meaningful impact.

Making a Difference for Individuals with Special Needs

We had a transformative day at a center for individuals with special needs in Cairo. Led by Fr. Abram Hasabala, we prayed, sang, and shared lunch with the community. Thanks to your support, we were able to provide a high-quality medical lift and specialized seating for 24 individuals, enhancing their mobility and comfort

Welcoming New Volunteers to Our Team

We are blessed to have more volunteers from across Egypt join our mission. These dedicated individuals are the backbone of Coptic Cross Ministries, working tirelessly to uplift those in need. We are deeply grateful for their service and your prayers.

Bringing Light to Coptic Children in Upper Egypt

Our recent Spiritual Day at a Coptic Church in Upper Egypt was filled with joy as we distributed age-appropriate Bibles to children. Your support enabled us to provide these essential resources, nurturing their spiritual growth. Each child received their own Bible, spreading inspiration and hope in their households.
