Morocco

In the all-mighty Name of Jesus, bless the kingdom of Morocco with God’s sovereign rule as the country celebrated its Independence Day after reclaiming its sovereignty in 1956.

Bless the Moroccans to know the Lord Jesus and have opportunities to understand the truth from the Bible.

Bless the Churches and Christian Believers to use the internet and digital devices to proclaim the Gospel to people in their reach.

Pray for the suffering Christian Believers to receive help in their distress and stay strong in faith to show God’s love to others (The Bible, 1 Thessalonians 2:12). (The Bible, 1 Thessalonians 2:12).

Morocco is a beautiful North African country that attracts over 10 million tourists annually. Well-known tourist spots include the Marrakesh market, the Badi Palace, and the waterfront fort. A former French colony, Morocco annexed neighboring Western Sahara to gain access to their vast mineral wealth. Although the United States and Israel recognized Morocco’s sovereignty over Western Sahara, the rest of the international community does not recognize this authority. Today, Morocco is a middle-income country and one of the foremost economies in Africa. Recovery from COVID-19 is slow in the tourism sector. More tourists are becoming victims of scams and other hostile behavior from local businesses. Like most Islamic countries, Morocco does not allow conversions from Islam to any other religious belief. In the past year, there was an increase in violent attacks on home churches and against individuals. Persecution levels are high, especially in extremist stronghold areas. On September 8, 2023, an earthquake measuring 6.8 claimed over five thousand lives. More than 250,000 people have faced a humanitarian crisis in Morocco since this seismic disaster.
