From Being Head of the Body of Christ

SEE: EXODUS 20: 3-5-"You shall have no other gods before Me. You shall not make for yourself a carved image-any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me"
SEE: 1 Corinthians 11: 3-"But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God."
SEE: Ephesians 1: 22-"And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church,"
SEE: Colossians 1: 18-"And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence."


CHANNELING THE SPIRIT WITH BILL HYBELS IN MYSTICAL SILENCE:
Mystic Mama Maggie Gobran, 

"The Coptic Christian Mother Theresa of Cairo" 

2011 Global Leadership Summit, 

Teaching the Heretical 

"Silence" of Contemplative Mysticism

QUOTE FROM WIKIPEDIA: Maggie Gobran or Mama Maggie, a Coptic Orthodox lady, is the founder and CEO of the non-profit charity Stephen's Children in Cairo, Egypt. She was also professor of computer science at the American University in Cairo, is married and has a son and a daughter. She was nominated to the 2012 Nobel Peace Prize.
Maggie Gobran, often referred to as the Mother Teresa of Cairo, is a Coptic Christian lady who once lived an affluent lifestyle sheltered from the poverty and misery, but who nevertheless experienced persecution as a Christian in Egypt. In 1989, she gave up her academic career to become a Coptic Orthodox Christian consecrated servant and set up the charity Stephen's Children, whose aim is improving the lives of the children of Christians and families living in Cairo's slum quarters and impoverished communities in rural Upper Egypt, who are constantly harassed and haunted because of their faith. She also offers help to impoverished Muslim and Bahá'í children.

Congressmen Nominate 'Mama Maggie' 

For Nobel Peace Prize


Feb 7, 2014
Washington, D.C. – Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA) today announced that he has joined three other members of Congress in nominating Maggie Gobran, affectionately known as “Mama Maggie,” for the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize.

Gobran runs a ministry that serves poor families living in Egypt’s garbage slums.  Established in 1989, Stephen’s Children runs three vocational centers, 90 clinics, and 90 community education centers.  The organization serves Egyptians of all faiths, including Coptic Christians, who face considerable persecution, discrimination and hardship.  In 2013 alone, 32,000 children and their families were served.
Joining Wolf in nominating Gobran are Rep. Bill Huizenga (R-MI), Rep. Joe Pitts (R-PA) and Rep. Robert Aderholt (R-AL).  This is the third year in a row these members have nominated Gobran.
“This is a woman who has dedicated her life to serving the poorest of the poor in Egypt and has often been referred to as the ‘Mother Teresa of Cairo,’” the congressmen wrote in their nominating letter. 
“Mama Maggie’s work seeks to lift these individuals out of poverty by providing them with the values, skills and education needed to become productive members of Egyptian society,” they wrote.  “In the more immediate term, Mama Maggie’s life and work provides these families and young people with a priceless commodity – hope.”
Wolf, a longtime advocate for international religious freedom and human rights, visited Egypt last year where he met with Gobran.  A copy of his trip report can be found here.

To Whom It May Concern:
“When you love somebody, you live it.”  These words were spoken by the founder and CEO of Stephen’s Children ministry, Maggie Gobran.  As Members of the United States House of Representatives, we write today to nominate “Mama Maggie,” as she is affectionately known by many, for the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize.  Mama Maggie has been nominated for this high honor on more than one occasion.  We continue to believe she is a worthy recipient.



his is a woman who has dedicated her life to serving the poorest of the poor in Egypt and has often been referred to as the “Mother Teresa of Cairo.”  After years of working as a successful manager at a marketing firm and later as a professor of computer science, Ms. Gobran became inspired to chart a different course during a visit to the destitute neighborhoods of Cairo.  Mama Maggie founded Stephen’s Children in 1989, a ministry dedicated to serving the disenfranchised populations living in the city’s garbage slums and impoverished areas of Upper Egypt.  Ms. Gobran is a woman of the utmost integrity and her tireless work has served thousands of Egyptians, of every faith, including countless children. She has given a voice to the poorest of the poor.
Stephen’s Children serves all needy Egyptians, including Coptic Christians — a religious minority group that faces considerable persecution, discrimination and hardship — and disadvantaged Muslim children as well.  The Coptic Christian community is the largest religious minority in Egypt today.  In fact, it is the largest religious minority in the entire Middle East.  The Copts have faced difficulties from the Arab conquest of Egypt to the present.  In recent years they have begun leaving the country in droves in the face of increased marginalization and outright violence — part of a larger troubling trend throughout the region which finds ancient faith communities imperiled and vulnerable.  The most recent U.S. State Department report on international religious freedom found that, “While recognized and unrecognized religious minorities mostly worshiped without harassment, the government generally failed to prevent, investigate, or prosecute crimes against members of religious minority groups, especially Coptic Christians, which fostered a climate of impunity. In some cases, government authorities reacted slowly or with insufficient resolve while mobs attacked Christians and their property, or encouraged Christians to leave their homes.”  
Of the roughly 8 to 10 million Christians in Egypt, approximately half of them live in abject poverty.  The Zabbaleen, or “garbage people,” are Coptic Christians who have lived in the trash dumps for over a century.  The conditions of the slums are abhorrent.  Many families live in one room shacks without electricity, sewage systems, public transportation or medical care.  There is very little or no access to clean water and many are forced to scavenge for food.  These are the very people that Stephen’s Children and Ms. Gobran serve.
Coptic Orthodox herself, it is through her deep religious and moral commitment that Mama Maggie has succeeded in creating an organization that serves the most poor, desperate and vulnerable population of Egypt.  Since its founding in 1989, Stephen’s Children has rapidly expanded.  In 2013 the organization had 3 vocational centers, 90 clinics in 90 educational centers serving more than 18,600 children.  A remarkable 32,000 children and their families were served in 2013 alone.  Mama Maggie’s work seeks to lift these individuals out of poverty by providing them with the values, skills and education needed to become productive members of Egyptian society.  In the more immediate term Mama Maggie’s life and work provides these families and young people with a priceless commodity — hope.
Clothed entirely in white, Mama Maggie is almost an angelic presence in Egypt’s slums, embodying the virtues of generosity, gentleness and charity.  We are honored to submit this letter of nomination for Maggie Gobran, a woman whose humility and authenticity have led her to dedicate her life to helping the world’s poorest and most vulnerable.  We are hopeful that the Committee would agree that these are noble traits which transcend time and culture and are worthy of recognition.
Sincerely,
Members of Congress
