“We in the United States hear and read so much about Egypt’s Second Revolution, ISIS, and the continuing conflict in the Middle East,” said Rev. Jack Baca, senior pastor at the Village Church. “We welcome Dr. Gendy to our community to hear his insights. What a prime opportunity it is for Village Church, for Rancho Santa Fe, and for the whole north San Diego County to hear from him about the state of Christianity in that part of the world.”
