On July 7, Coptic Orphans public relations associates Dina Daniel and Nathan Hollenbeck presented the plight of Egyptian children to an Arabic Christian conference in Lancaster , PA. The conference gathered around one hundred participants from various congregations including the Arabic Bible Church in Rockville , MD , the Arabic Christian Church in PA, and from three Coptic Orthodox parishes.

Many pledged to get involved by spreading the word in their congregations, through house parties, and other avenues. A large percentage of the conference attendees showed their support for the children in Egypt by wearing Coptic Orphans T-shirts, including the conference organizer, Pastor Moussa. When Dina stood up to speak at the evening session, she looked out at a sea of shirts featuring the Coptic Orphans logo and the exhortation, “Remember those who have no one to remember them.”
