The serving Egyptian - I am learning firsthand what servanthood means

Nour Sahid is a Christian from Northern Egypt. I met him some months
ago while I was doing some ministry in Cape Town. He has been with us
in Knynsa for the past few days. This is the first time in my life
that I have experienced a servant for whom no act of service is too
small! Nour rejoices to carry things, to make people tea, to move
stuff around, and to do anything that will show you that you are
precious and valuable to God.

This man came all the way from Egypt (this is his second trip at his
own expense) just to serve! He has Bern staying with the students at
Eagle's Rising (a Christian youth training centre in Gordon's bay) for
about two months now.

Nour embodies the message if Phil 2v5. He is an accomplished and
gifted man who has given his life to serve others.

I have realized that for a long time now I have only paid lip service
to servanthood. I tend to be impatient when asked to do things that
break into my schedule, tasks tend to take priority over people...
Some of you may know the drill.

However, here is a man, who like Jesus would not hessitate to wash the
feet of others... He requires no recognition of who he is, or what he
does. His greatest joy is to serve.

Thank you Nour! You inspire me!
