EBCI and others

Postby Joseph Patrick » Sun Feb 18, 2018 9:59 pm

From Gerry Milligan,

Jon Estes, I just heard that all evangelical congregations in Dubai which are meeting in venues not provided by the government would be closed. Is this true? How will it affect EBCI and Fellowship of the Emirates? Praying

Gerry -

We are working through this as best we can. We will be shifting to DECC (Jabel Ali) this Friday or Saturday. We do not know what time slot we will be given, so we are waiting to find that out.

We appreciate all the prayers we can get.

I'm interested in the government's rationale for this decision. Is it a security thing, or religiously motivated, or what?

I hope that doesn't negatively affect your worship or your congregation. Do you fit in the space?

May this prove a provision for needs in the journey.

It was a great day of worship. Good crowd. About 100 down, which we expected due to short notice and work schedules not being able to be adjusted.

These are the greatest people.

Hopefully, over time, the adjustments can be made and people can get back. It sounds like this is a permanent move for you. Looks like a nice facility, at any rate.
