The special Bible landed in Cairo International airport at 8.30 pm on 21 September. It was received joyfully by Pastor Llewellyn Edwards the president of Egypt Field. On the 22nd morning members, church leaders and children gathered in the SDA Heliopolis Church to view the Bible and to read from it. Portions from the Bible was read in three languages; Arabic, Swedish and English. The first verse read was from Malachi 3:1 "I, the Lord All-Powerful, will send my messenger to prepare the way for me. Then suddenly the Lord you are looking for will appear in his temple. The messenger you desire is coming with my promise, and he is on his way."
Later that morning pastors from across Egypt Field came together to discuss how they can encourage their members to read the Bible daily (using the Bible Reading Guide). They also decided to set aside 10 - 15 minutes during each Sabbath where chosen Bible passages can be read publicly. They were convinced that "God will bless everyone who reads ... who hears ... and obeys it." Rev. 1:3
During the week, the Bible was read across the nation in Churches and in homes.
