Special ASM report: Morocco Summit
Most of the 120+ participants reported making strategic connections and almost half expect to enter into new collaboration with others as a result of the Summit. Expectation is running high that there will be much fruit. Nearly ninety percent said the Summit should be repeated. All were encouraged, challenged and edified. Pray for the Summit coordinators as they seek the way forward and make plans for another such gathering.
NORTHEASTERN REGION:
Workers here have seen the mysterious works of the Lord this past month. A short-term volunteer in the earthquake zone was killed in a bombing while visiting Egypt with his brother who is still hospitalized. Please pray for healing for this young man in body, soul, spirit, and emotion. Pray for their family as well. The Lord is at work through this tragedy, reaching some whose lives have been touched by these young men. One person has become an outspoken believer as a direct result.
Pray for workers in the area for health, strength, wisdom, and words as they share holistically with needy people. Pray for workers who will be leaving the field for an extended break and for those who will be taking up their roles during their absence.
Pray the Holy Spirit will prepare hearts to receive the Word as distribution teams come and work through the summer. Pray for progress in the work on Romans, that it may be finalized and recorded in time for this summer's distribution.
NORTHCENTRAL REGION:
"The new brother is rejoicing in his new found faith. He meets each week to pray and study with an expatriate friend and has just begun weekly sessions with a national with a view to joining their house church soon. Continue to lift him up in prayer, and pray for his family and friends who know about his decision to follow Christ, that they'll be challenged to consider Jesus."
CENTRAL REGION:
Please note that there is a day of fasting and prayer for the Berbers of Central Morocco (a.k.a. - Middle Atlas Berbers) on Friday, May 6th.
Radio is an important means of sowing in this region. Pray for technical computer help for those who produce the Berber radio programs.
Pray for a new team that is moving into this area. They are doing some initial projects now. Pray especially for a worker who is battling cancer and for their family. Pray for relationships with people in the village where the team will be working. Ask the Lord to bless the team as they serve Him and to fill them with joy. With lots of transition there will be lots of stress, so lots of prayer is needed.
SOUTHCENTRAL REGION:
Lighthouse Church -
Please pray for a seekers' group that has begun - that those who regularly attend would fully commit to Jesus. One has various doubts; pray for assurance of salvation. Please pray four people will be ready for baptism by the end of May.
Please pray for a weekend away the church is planning this month and that all will have God's wisdom and his presence throughout the time.
Please pray for protection of relationships within the church and for wisdom and provision for various business projects for unemployed believers.
From an expatriate believer in Morocco:
“Friendship is the theme of this week's Christian/Muslim music festival in Marrakech, called "Friendship Fest", May 6-8 (info at ww.friendshipfest.com). This is the first event of its kind in the Arab world and portrays Morocco's desire to improve relations with the West and pursue religious dialogue and interchange. At the same time, the reality is that there will be a huge amount of prayer and praise flowing in and out of Morocco this weekend.
