Moroccan Open Doors

From the snowcapped Atlas Mountains to the endless sands of the Sahara, Morocco is a kaleidoscope of colours.

In August, a team of 30 volunteers from Spain took part in “Tetuan 2k9,” a humanitarian aid project in Tetuan, Morocco. Doors were opened to demonstrate God’s love to the Moroccan people.

Being volunteers from different faiths, Baptists, Catholics, Atheists and Muslims, not only granted credibility with the Teutan authorities but also gave the team members who did not know Jesus as their personal Saviour an opportunity to see God’s love in action.

Activities like puppet shows for children, athletics, football, chess and language lessons in English and Spanish connected project team members with the locals. Women were especially interested in talks about self-esteem, Spanish cooking and health issues.

A special relationship developed with Tetuan’s Mayor who during the closing ceremony expressed his gratitude and endorsement of the project. As a result, the Mayor of a neighbouring village met with and invited us to come and use his village’s facilities for a project to benefit the people of his village.

God faithfully opens doors!
