Our Story Intersects with Other Stories
February 17, 2008
Our story often intersects with the stories of people on the other side of the world. Consider the positive difference many people in Kentucky are making in the lives of refugees in Morocco. A couple of years ago, Kentucky Baptist Fellowship began a partnership with the Eglise Evangelique au Maroc (EEAM). The EEAM is made up of legally recognized Protestant churches in the Muslim nation of Morocco. Six of our Kentucky churches partner with six Morocco churches.
Thousands of students from across Africa are studying in Morocco. Tens of thousands of migrants and refugees from across Africa are flooding into North Africa. The churches of Kentucky Baptist Fellowship have a unique opportunity to partner with Morocco churches and their ministries to students, migrants and refugees.
I recently received the following note from David, a friend and leader in the Morocco church…
Hello John,
I hope that all is well with you and your family. We are good here.
I wanted to thank you and Kentucky Baptist Fellowship again for all of your support of the refugee/migrant ministry here. You guys are such a blessing. Last week we spent 3 days on the eastern border (an area where folks from across the continent come out of the desert) ministering to folks.One of the things we did was to deliver basic meds that had been given
by Kentucky folks who have come over, bringing items from the care packs. They were so much appreciated. We just want to say thank you again. Your giving goes a long way.Blessings and peace,
David
