Majed el-Shafie at The Story Church

Join us on Sunday, February 16 for a live teaching and tesmtimony from Rev. Majed el-Shafie! This service will also be live streamed on The Story’s platforms.

Majed was a recent guest on the Maybe God Podcast, hosted by Pastor Eric Huffman, where he shared the horrifying story of the torture he endured in one of Egypt’s most notorious prisons, just for being a Christian. Watch the full episode here!

Rev. Majed El Shafie is a human rights advocate and founder of One Free World International (OFWI). His human rights journey started in his native Egypt that he was later forced to flee after he was severely tortured and sentenced to death for his conversion to Christianity and bringing awareness to human rights violations related to religious persecution.

Belonging to a very prominent legal and political family in Egypt, Majed had tried to work within the Egyptian system to reform the country’s human rights regime. Between the challenges he faced in these efforts, his firsthand experience as a survivor of religious persecution, the work he has engaged in since by advocating for religious freedom, confronting governments that violate this fundamental right, and conducting fact-finding missions and humanitarian/rescue operations, he has obtained significant knowledge and insight into the dynamics of persecution of religious minorities by religious extremists and totalitarian governments alike.
