On September 8, 2023 Morocco experienced a 6.8 shallow earthquake that was felt as far as Casablanca, and even in Portugal. CrossPassion Ministries and Mission of the Holy Spirit will be partnering on an exploratory mission trip to serve the communities of Marrakech one year after the earthquake.

At the end of September 2023, God spoke to Mary Leigh as the Cross Passion community prayed for those affected by the earthquake, that she would be going to Morocco. As the prayer community began to pray over this Word, we felt directed to initiate an exploratory trip to Morocco to “ spy out the land”, to see for ourselves what God is doing in the midst of this devastation.

A partnership between CrossPassion Ministries and Mission of the Holy Spirit was formed. A vision for a joint exploratory trip was cast. As part of this trip to Morocco, the team will be accompanying the Sisters assigned to Église des Saints – Martyrs Catholic Community in Marrakesh on their daily trips up into the villages in the Atlas Mountains’ most devastated areas. Other planned activities include meeting with Marrakesh protestant pastors, and other missions organizations active in the Marrakesh area, as well as other Moroccan cities - all to determine what God is doing in Morocco and what role God is calling CrossPassion to play.

Your contribution to this effort will help CrossPassion to discern our role in expanding the Kingdom of God in Morocco, and perhaps in North Africa at large.
