Casablanca

Imagine a large, sprawling city of an estimated six million people.

The Hassan II Grand Mosque, the second largest in the world, towers above the skyline at the edge of the sea. Fancy cafes and expensive boutiques line boulevards six lanes wide that are choked with taxies, cars, busses, motor scooters and horse-drawn carts.

Known as the ‘’Gateway City" of Morocco, Casablanca is the economic and cultural trendsetter for the nation. It is a place of contrasts. Here you will find people from all over the country and from every Moroccan people group. Millions have come to find employment and seek their fortune.

While many of Morocco’s richest families live in Casablanca, the majority of people are poor or middle class. Fabulous villas stand right beside the poorest of hovels. Extended families of six or more adults may live in homes with two or three rooms. Unemployment is high and those who have work are often not paid a regular salary. A million or more may live in the numerous shantytowns hidden behind walls throughout the city. Many lose hope and resort to begging or to drugs, alcohol, crime, or prostitution.

Rich and poor, powerful and powerless, educated and illiterate, sophisticated and simple can all be found in Casablanca.

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13

"The man with two tunics should share with him who has none, and the one who has food should do the same." Luke 3:11

Pray for the hope available in Christ to be revealed to the hopeless of Casablanca.
Pray for God to break through to the rich and powerful and to bring them and their resources into play for the establishment of His Kingdom.
Pray the church might be established among each of the people groups in Casablanca.
