Anafora

"When a man takes one step toward God, God takes more steps toward that man than there are sands in the worlds of time."

Anafora is a place off the beaten path of most people in Egypt. It lies on the desert road between Cairo and Alexandria and has become a favorite vacationing spot and meeting place for our family and other MCCers over the years. The man-made canals, palm trees and other plants and flowers, creative architecture, camels and cows and donkeys, enchanting church filled with inscence and silence, the domed roofs forming a great late night jungle gym, looking up at the stars at night and seeing millions of them dotting the sky, the unique dinning area where you sit on rug carpets on the floor and eat off of low tables, and the place that gives you the chance for some alone time and fun new experiances. This is Anafora. The place where darkeness is not obscured by flashing shop signs and bright street lights. The place where you can hear that unfamiliar hum of complete silence.
