I am still on this journey where Father challenges me to focus what He is doing in each country.
So we meet up with other workers in the field, to learn from them, encourage them and help them in which ever way they see fit.
So I can just stand amazed and repent, thinking that I was going to change Morocco in the 3 weeks we spent there.
The Moroccans trace back their cultural heritage to Noah's son Shem (at least that is what I was told). The Berber people in Morocco was some of the early church farthers. (So these people has such a history with the gospel). South Africa's history is recorded since 1652, maybe a bit earlier, Morocco's culture is 1000's of years old. Keep that in the back of your mind.
Lets look at the language, it is said that it takes a moroccan 17 years to learn his/her native tongue. And yes it is a difficult language, where pronouncing the same written word can mean the difference between heart and dog. One of the workers we met, told us of an incident where he was inviting people to receive Jesus in their heart, but they just stared at him with a puzzeled gaze. Because of his pronounciation he was telling them to invite Jesus into their dog, and in their culture a dog is an unclean animal that is not even allowed in their house. So these are some of the funnies that can occur. But it does make it a lot more difficult to share the Good News with the locals. Some of the people whom we met, told us that they are still learning the language and they are in the country for 11 years.
Having said that, the Lord is busy. We heard so many testamonies of what the Lord is doing, how He protect and provides for His followers, how He touches the lifes of the local people and how His kindness leads them to repentance.
It is forbidden in Morocco for me to share my faith or believes, unless someone asks me about it.
I can not go into specific details, but I have "tasted and seen" that the Lord is good.
Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him. (Psalm 34:8 NI
Lord I pray that you will stir up the questions in the people who needs to ask the right questions. Let the world ask your children, "what do you have that make you different?". Father please open the doors for conversations about Jesus. Amen
