Greetings from Morocco: First Impressions & Reflections

Apr 17, 2025 | Gilbert's Journal

First Glimpses of a Beautiful Land

I landed in Casablanca, marking the beginning of my very first visit to the beautiful nation of Morocco. My immediate reaction upon arrival? Simply “Wow!, (You can catch a glimpse of this initial experience in the video below.

I was immediately struck by the beauty and well-maintained infrastructure I observed. It’s been an impressive and welcoming start to my time in North Africa.

A Special Connection and God’s Timing

This trip is particularly special. It’s a cherished opportunity upon the kind invitation of a dear university friend and brother in Christ, someone I’ve known since the 90s. Moments like these truly highlight how amazing God’s ways and timing are!

Thoughts and Prayers from the Airport

Spending time observing and interacting with people at the airport while waiting for my connecting flight to Agadir, I found myself reflecting. My thoughts turned towards the possibilities and hopes for a thriving community of Jesus followers within this fascinating nation.

A Request for Prayer

This week serves as a much-needed period of rest and rejuvenation for me after a season of intense teaching and ministry commitments. I would be so grateful if you would join me in prayer. Please pray that the Holy Spirit would richly bless this time off, bringing refreshment, insight, and renewed energy.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership in prayer.

To God Be the Glory
