Estefanos pastor Shehata of the village Upper Ezbet Dawoud Yousef (about 124 Km south of Cairo, Egypt) threatened death fatwa by people around because it uses his home as a place of worship for the 800 Copts in the region. Weddings and funerals had to be done in the street because there is no place to do it. Although Egypt's constitution guarantees religious freedom, but the practice is very different. Coptic Christians are not allowed to build places of worship even Improving your church unless granted permission from the Governor, dear almost all requests for permits to build and improve the church has always rejected.

Since two years ago Shehata convert a portion of his house for the service, to use it he had asked for permission, but the authorities are reluctant to provide answers. Outstanding of Pastor is the answer to those who give fatwa death for him. "I am not afraid to die, Fatwa to spill my blood is an honor for me." Similarly, given a straight answer. God's word today that we are not afraid of any threats because only He needs us to fear Him in power kills Soul and body in hell.
