AEIOU: Morocco Update
Arise Shine Morocco :: Prayer Bulletin #59 (09/05)
www.interum.org/ASM :: asm@interum.org
Pray for a recently married brother in a nearby town who married a woman that is open to the gospel and whose uncle is a believer. Pray for other believers who desire believing spouses.
Pray for various workers in this area who have been sick lately. The heat really gets to everyone. Pray for new workers that will soon arrive.
Pray for workers going through transition due to an expatriate leader leaving. Pray for clear direction for those staying and for encouragement as they continue their work.
Pray for believer M whose personal life has hit a huge hurdle. Pray he will know that God is sovereign and that he will be free from fear.
A family outside the city recently welcomed believers to come and share about their faith. The head of the household was baptized in front of his entire family who remain open to the Good News. Pray they will all soon follow him in the faith.
Praise the Lord as summer teams traveling around Morocco reported excellent opportunities to share openly with seekers. God granted many divine appointments. It was a blessing to reach out in towns and villages with no workers and to find people desiring to know more about Jesus.
Praise God for a few who made first time commitments to follow Jesus. They have now been connected with workers or local believers in nearby cities. Pray follow-up will go smoothly.
Pray for those who are the only believers in their whole town or village. Pray the Holy Spirit will be their teacher and companion, bringing them to maturity in miraculous ways. Pray also for a local believer who desires to grow and be discipled.
Many new workers have arrived or are arriving in Morocco. Pray for cultural adjustment. Pray they soon begin meaningful friendships with Moroccans open to hear their witness. Pray for the expatriate community as they readjust to workers having left and new ones arrived.
Pray workers will be unified in vision and common goals. Pray that those sent by different organizations will be open to working together and sharing their ideas and resources.
Pray for the safe and rapid completion of construction and granting of Certificates of Occupancy for a major facility. Pray many will be served and blessed by it. Pray also for all who serve in it.
Pray for a new team getting started in a work to very needy and hurting group of people. They need authorization for their project and funding. Pray for three or four new teams getting started this fall/winter. Most need to get jobs and projects off the ground, work on language, move to their new areas and make relationships.
Pray for a seminar planned for November. Pray for those speaking and those attending. Pray it will help the advancement of the kingdom. Pray too for a distribution project starting up.
Pray for the recording and production of the God's story video. There have been so many obstacles in this project. Pray for wisdom to know how to move this forward.

Lighthouse Church:
Pray for a sister who loves the Lord but who has not yet made the decision to be baptized. Pray for others to accept the Lord and be baptized this year.
Pray the presence of the Lord would be strong in the church and that miracles will be seen. Pray the Lord will give church members the strength to be self-disciplined. Pray the Lord will meet both the spiritual and material needs of the leader of the church.
Pray for a family in another city that will be opening up their home to serve the Lord this year.
Praise the Lord for the arrival of a new family in the city. Pray for healing and health for the wife who has suffered from stomach problems for a few weeks. She is on medication but is healing very slowly.
Pray for another family that is grieving following the still-born death of their baby in July.
Pray for wisdom and sensitivity for a family that is home-schooling their teenage daughter.
Pray for community building and for getting to know each other better. Growing numbers of workers and their children in town makes it challenging at times to meet together. Many homes are too small to accommodate all. Pray for wisdom as to how to handle this.
Pray for believer “A” who is meeting with a friend of his “B” to discuss the faith and the Bible. Friend B called and asked A to come and speak with him about heaven and other things and to bring the Bible with him.
Pray for small cities and larger towns in the region that currently have no Gospel witness.

Prayer requests from ministries to Moroccans in Europe:
Pray for ministries that will be restarting in September. Many Europeans and missionaries have been on vacation for the month of August. Pray everyone will return refreshed. Pray they will have God's wisdom to know what to do in the coming year. Pray many Moroccans will come to Christ through these ministries.
Pray for two training schools that will start in September. These schools will teach people how to be more effective in reaching Muslims. Pray that the students will get to the school safely, have the finances to get there, and would learn to be more effective in their ministry. Pray the teachers will clearly explain their subjects and that they too would have safe travel to and from the school.

Excerpts from an article of interest:
DROUGHT - RABAT, July 14 (Reuters) from an article by Souhail Karam
Drought is taking its toll on North Africa. The drought encompassing much of North Africa has so far spared Tunisia, but farmers in Algeria and Morocco are clamoring for help, while governments are steeling themselves to bump up imports to feed the population. In Morocco the harvest has shrunk by 57%. Agriculture accounts for 14% of the $49 billion economy but employs 40% of the ten million workforce. The sector produces mainly subsistence crops. A poor farming year often widens poverty and increases urban drift and heavier spending by a cash-tight state to keep farmers on the land. Morocco has so far dedicated seven billion dirham ($778 million) to alleviate the impact of this year's drought on farmers.
