A Few Words Before We Leave for Casa sticky icon

Just a moment to write a word... we are all doing well and have a wonderful few days in Rabat! Last night, Sara, Jordan, Alecia and I went back to the migrant church where Sara, Jordan, and Alecia sang Amazing Grace and I preached in the midst of their 2 hours worship service. Then we met up with the rest of the group and had our final Youth Program. Lots of photos were taken and emails exchanged. Our past several days have been amazing and if I were to try to upload every photo and tell every story, I wouldnt be able to leave the computer all day.

Youth ProgramAs the group is upstairs in the hotel at the moment, I am back on the computer to share about our trip so far! The past three days have been wonderful as we have entered into the thick of the work that the EEAM is doing with the migrants in Rabat. Shortly after my last blog entry on Sunday, we went to another worship service... this time it was a 25 minute bus ride from downtown in the midst of a neighborhood. We walked into what seemed to be a home to find about 40 African refugees crowded together in a very small room for worship.

Beautiful Sunday in Rabat! sticky icon

Hello from Morocco!  I am writing from the computer that is in our hotel lobby while the rest of the group rests upstairs for a little while before we meet again for our second worship service of the day with a migrant community.  Everyone is still healthy so that is good news... and we are working on our French but there is still much room for improvement!
