JOIN US ON THE JOURNEY TO CHANGE LIVES
Come and See
Throughout our years of ministry, SLU has stepped through strategic doors of opportunity to facilitate international leadership trainings in China, Botswana, Jordan, Jericho, Nazareth, and Nairobi. In 2023, we excitedly launched the next step in this mission - a multi-day SLU 101 and Pastors Conference in Egypt through a partnership with the tC Egypt Ministry.
Since September 2023, the SLU Team has served in Egypt through three powerful ministry opportunities:
- SLU 101 Egypt ('23 and '24) 750 Egyptian students began their SLU leadership journey. Our team, along with other leaders from the tC Egypt community, had the opportunity to present our SLU 101 content to students and watch as they learned how to think, dream, and lead at the feet of Jesus. Additionally through online ministry, tC Egypt had the opportunity to livestream the SLU 101 content on their Facebook page and received on average 5,000 additional views. They also gained access to the top 5 Christian television networks across Northern Africa and broadcasted each session.
- SLU 201 Egypt ('24) 150* Egpytian students continued their SLU leadership journey through enrolling in 201...
- "Good to Great" Pastors Conference ('23 and '24) for 150+ Egyptian ministry leaders to equip and encourage them to continue their work in Egypt. Attendees from 5 strategic cities in Egypt: Cairo, Alexandria, El Menia, Assuit, and Delta joined us. The conference consisted of teachings from both the SLU team and tC Egypt team, as well as a Q&A session where ministry leaders were given the chance to challenge their processes and ask vital questions pertaining to ministry with Gen Z students.
The Lord opened the door to return in September 2025, to continue these efforts, hosting BOTH SLU 101 and SLU 201 as well as the 3rd year of the "Good to Great" Pastors Conference.
