Egypt Baptist Church Founder and President Lazarus Benjamin Dies

Lazarus Benjamin, founder and president of the Baptist Autonomous Church complex in Egypt, has died, and the evangelical community in Egypt has marked his departure with grief. Mourning statements describe him as the head of the evangelical community in Egypt.

André Zaki, president of the Evangelical Community of Egypt, issued a condolence on behalf of the members of the General Evangelical Council and the heads of evangelical denominations in Egypt. Zaki said Benjamin gave his life to serve God’s Word with vision and sincerity, leaving the example of a servant who worked earnestly and contributed to the building of God’s work (Hebrews 13:7).

The statement was issued in Benjamin’s memory and framed as a tribute to his service within the wider evangelical community, which the source describes as including the General Evangelical Council and its member denominations.
