You may recall a few days ago we highlighted a report from CBN News concerning the State Department and all of the Christians that have been deported from Morocco in recent days. Well, this story is not going away and today we have a story from our friends at Compass Direct who are again trying to let us all know about what's happening to believers in Morocco.
Click here for the full story at Compass Direct. And please spend time in prayer today for our family in Morocco.
New wave of deportations raises concerns for foreigners married to Moroccans.
ISTANBUL, July 1 (CDN) — Moroccan authorities expelled eight more foreign Christians from the country last weekend, bringing the total of deported Christians since March to 128.Two foreign women married to Moroccan Christians were included in this third wave of deportations since March, raising concerns that local authorities intend to harass the country’s small but growing Protestant community.
“They are all in fear,” a source told Compass, “because this happened to people who are married.”
One of the women, a Lebanese national married to a Moroccan, was diagnosed with cancer last month and is the mother of a 6-year old girl whom she was forced to leave behind.
