Meeting Raided in Morocco
Christians in Morocco are concerned. A recent raid took place on a meeting of believers. Sixty policemen, including a colonel, following orders from the new justice minister, arrested those at the meeting: 18 Moroccans (including children and non-believers) and the American teaching at the meeting. All were questioned and released; the American was taken to the airport and expelled.
This is not the first incident of this kind, which is why there is concern. Christians in Morocco are concluding that there is a new national policy concerning Moroccan Christians, who would all be from a Muslim background.
An expat living in Morocco says:
The Moroccan church is growing and I think the government is trying to figure out how this is happening. With the Islamic fundamentalists, they know how this [growth] is happening. Money comes in from Saudi Arabia and the Emirates and is given to the poor in the ...

It is significant that this recent talk of 'faith' in reference to this allegedly cash-strapped region, has had nothing to do with Islam or Christianity.

In the midst of this financial downturn, the world's tallest building, the impressive Burj Khalifah, opened with a spectacular fireworks display in Dubai at the beginning of 2010. The building was opened by Dubai's ruler, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum who described the tower as 'the tallest building ever created by the hand of man.' What's it look like?

Christmas is nearly upon us and it is so easy to get caught up in the madness. Shopping, decorating the tree, writing cards, preparing for the big feast... How often do we get sidetracked by all the ‘activity’ and forget that we are celebrating the birth of God’s one and only Son - and the purpose of His human life!
In Isaiah 9 it is written:
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
The message of Christmas brings hope and light into our lives but there are many who have not yet heard about God’s love for them. Let’s pray that the Christmas period will bring many opportunities for the Light of the World to be known, glorified and worshipped ...
