Evangelical Theological Seminary of Cairo
The Evangelical Theological Seminary of Cairo (ETSC), Egypt, was founded in 1863 when courageous Presbyterian missionaries used a houseboat to sail between Aswan and Cairo. They taught students by day and evangelized the villages by night. That same missionary spirit lives today at ETSC, as it trains 700+ students for ministry and church leadership roles. As the largest and most influential seminary in the Middle East, it focuses on training both lay and ordained ministers who are committed to planting and strengthening churches. At ETSC, theological education is not merely an academic destination but a path to spiritual transformation. Your Chapel outreach has supported ETSC with an M. Div. scholarship since 2021 and, prior to that, with contributions to the ETSC general operating fund.

Did you know that 2/3 of the world’s population even NOW are oral communicators? This includes many Muslim-background people across the Middle East and people in
Africa, Asia, Latin America and everywhere! Oral people groups prefer to learn through the verbally spoken word. They may read and write, but prefer oral communication. Traditional ‘literate’ church-planting and gospel sharing methods typically just aren’t effective to engage these very last-reached peoples.
Story Runners passionately equips local believers in unreached people groups to launch church-planting movements using oral Bible stories. These locals are then equipped to go out into their own communities, sharing oral Bible stories and the gospel in their own culture and language. The people they gather around them become church
plants. The initial 4-week workshop is followed up by ongoing discipleship and church-planting training through both StoryRunners and local partner organizations.

Kenya PArtners
When Kenya Partners founder, Diane Hamrick (now an Amelia Island resident), and two friends from High Point, NC, went on an exploratory mission trip to Kenya in 2006 for their local church,, they were deeply moved by the suffering they saw there, caused by the lack of adequate and affordable medical care. They committed to raising funds to build a small clinic. They also realized that an education was the only way out of poverty for children they saw everywhere. Kenya Partners also began building a school for grades K-12 and two preschools. Today, that little clinic has accredited hospital status and offers 24/7 healthcare, a maternity wing, and other medical services. Children in all preschools enjoy a daily lunch, and they also feed other children when resources
permit. Kenya Partners is now feeding over 1000 children every day. The Betty Roberts Education Centre K-12) offers a superior Christian education where 550 children, both boarders and day students, attend the school.
