Mamma Magggie Gobran

This year at the Leadership Summit, Mamma Maggie from Cairo, Egypt spoke to us about the plight of the discarded slum children of Cairo. She spoke with a humble, quiet eloquence that was absolutely riveting. Here are some notes from her talk. Learn more at www.stephensministry.com
  • Egypt, as a country has sent the greatest number of martyrs to heaven.
  • It's the moment you die to self that you find yourself.
  • When one has nothing, God becomes everything.
  • Regarding the children her organization serves: We help them have a better life, they help us have more love.
Silence your body to listen to your words; silence your words to listen to your thoughts; silence your thoughts to listen to your heartbeat; silence your heart to listen to your spirit; silence your spirit to listen to the Holy Spirit. In silence you leave many to be with the ONE.
