Pacific Crossroads is a solid church in West Los Angeles, and they recently sent out an email about Village of Hope orphanage in Morocco.  Last Sunday, Crossroads commissioned a team of people who were slated to go out to Village of Hope in only a few weeks, but they just got news that the Moroccan Government has raided the home and told the children that their foster parents are going to be deported for talking about their Christian faith.

Not only is Pacific Crossroads a church we love here at Shoreline, but these workers in Morocco are our brothers and sisters in the faith.  I’d ask us all to join with Crossroads in praying for the situation over there, in the following ways (taken from their email):

1.  Pray for the children that are being left behind - that they would be cared for and be protected.
2.  Pray for the missionaries who are being asked to leave - that they would be able to mobilize against this.
3.  Pray that the Moroccan officials would reverse their decision.
4.  Pray that the media around the world would cover this story and bring shame upon the Moroccan government for this decision.
5.  Pray that our God - the Father of the fatherless - would be glorified and would act decisively in this situation.
