Origins
In 1899 Herbert E. Randall of the Canadian Holiness Movement Church began work in the city of Asyut. Revivals broke out in villages and towns nearby. Other missionaries joined him, and the work developed into an independent conference. In 1959 the Canadian denomination and the conference in Egypt united with the Free Methodist Church.
Present Ministries
Wesleyan Theological College in Asyut prepares Free Methodist ministers. Student pastors minister in village churches that do not have pastors. Nile Christian Bookshops operate as a cooperative ministry in several large cities. About 8,000 Free Methodist children attend summer vacation Bible school.
