Evangelical Church Leader Congratulates Pastor Hilal Kamal Fares on Serving Baptist Egyptians in Jordan

Dr. Reverend André Zaki, President of the Evangelical Community of Egypt, extended congratulations to Reverend Hilal Kamal Fares on his appointment as a priest and sponsor of the Evangelical Egyptian Baptists in Jordan. Zaki emphasized the significance of this step in enhancing the Church’s care for Egyptian residents in the region, fostering cooperation between churches in Egypt and Jordan.

Zaki also commended Pastor Khalaf Barakat, President of the Baptist General Assembly in Egypt, and Dr. Nabih Abbasi, Chairman of the Jordanian Baptist Community, for their role in the appointment. He described the event as an important milestone in the ongoing work of church service and collaboration.

The appointment reflects a spirit of cooperation and partnership among churches, with a focus on providing spiritual care to Egyptians living in Jordan. It aims to maintain the community’s connection to church life despite their geographical distance from Egypt.

Zaki expressed his hopes for Fares’ service, highlighting the dual dimensions of the Church’s concern for Egyptians in Jordan—spiritual and humanitarian. He stressed the importance of remaining close to the community and offering them both spiritual and corporate care.

Zaki noted that the presence of an Egyptian church service in Jordan serves as a bridge of love and communication, illustrating the deep fraternal relations between churches in Egypt and Jordan. He pointed to the historical and humanitarian ties that bind the two nations.

Pastor Hilal Kamal Fares serves as the shepherd for the Baptist Egyptians in Jordan, providing a church for the community’s children. This role enables them to engage in spiritual and church activities while living outside Egypt, maintaining their connection to the faith.
