On Sunday, travelers toured the storehouses of Joseph and loved it. Some travelers played tourist and shopped at stores near the hotel. You know how it is when you have to have a hieroglyphic T-shirt to take home.

The farewell dinner was a splendor of color as travelers arrived dressed in their best. Several ladies wore Egyptian headdresses, bands of gold and glimmering beads.  There was no lack of cuisine choices. Everything from a Greek salad to a turkey carving station.

Marilyn thanked her travelers and told them they were absolutely the best travelers she’s ever had and encouraged all to join her on the Spring 2020 trip.  It was a beautiful end to a marvelous adventure.

The morning opened with breakfast followed by a private time for worship and prayer with the travelers, Marilyn, and Sarah.

Once again, Marilyn and Sarah conducted a groundbreaking Ministry Training School and because of Marilyn Hickey Ministries, 600 pastors were able to come together and inspire each other to continue on in the good fight.  Pastors came together in one accord mending past hurts and encouraging each other.  One evening, the pastors stayed up until midnight worshiping the Lord and thanking God for what He has done. A meeting like this has never occurred before in Egypt, and it was truly remarkable.

There was a secular television crew interviewed Marilyn and Sarah and the story ran on the evening news.

Marilyn and the travelers were treated to a special lunch. They were touched by the gracious hospitality of the Egyptian Christians.

On Friday, Marilyn and Sarah were busy with the first day of the training school with 600 pastors and leaders. Those attending were from Ethiopia, Sudan, Eritrea, and Egypt. Tying in the conference message of unity, Sarah spoke and encouraged continual unity and taught the story of David and how he moved within his anointing, not Saul’s. She gave out several Words of Knowledge. Pastors soaked it up and were moved by the message. Marilyn taught on the motive gifts out of Romans 12 and how pastors and leaders are able to recognize the gifting in others.

 The travelers spent some time with Marilyn before they boarded their busses for the three-hour drive to Alexandria, north of Cairo. Alexandria was impressive in architecture and history. The hotel travelers stayed in thrilled everyone with views of the Giza pyramids.

Despite Julius Caesar burning down the Library of Alexandria in 47 BC when he was fighting Pompeii, there are 4000,000 books in 33 languages today. It’s all preserved on the internet now. A lot of thought was put into the design of the current building, one example is that ceiling windows are in the shape of eyes with eyelids and lashed. Each design served a purpose as well as colors that were used. All were chosen to enhance the reading experience. The group also visited Alexandria’s lighthouse, long destroyed by earthquakes. Fortress in same location are known as one of the ancient seven wonders of the world.
