Morocco, North Africa

Population: 32,725,847
Christians: <1%
Dominant Religion: Sunni Islam
Persecution Ranking: 20th
Political Leader: King Mohamed VI
Religious Freedom in Constitution: Yes

King Mohammad VI is endeavouring to promote economic modernisation without alienating the large conservative majority nor emboldening the radical Islamists. He is also working to improve human rights. A Truth and Reconciliation process seeks to bring reconciliation between victims and perpetrators of past abuses. Those Moroccans who chose to follow Jesus during the second half of the twentieth century suffered greatly. Today, their suffering is more subtle, including job discrimination, hassle over renewing passports and other official documents, and harassment from their families.
Prayer Points

Almighty God, we lift the people of Morocco before You. Grant success to King Muhammad VI in his endeavours to improve the education system, build the economy, uphold integrity, and improve respect for human rights. LORD Jesus Christ, we thank You that You are re-building Your Church in Morocco in these days. Raise up additional godly leaders who can teach and equip those who choose to follow Jesus to be faithful disciples. Amen.
