GLOBAL PARTNERS AROUND THE WORLD
Mitch and Laura Switzer – Morocco
After a wonderful Michigan summer, our family is happily back home and with our church in Morocco. Although leaving Michigan was tough, we left behind so many precious friends and family, we have known the Lord’s kindness and provision as we have settled back into our city. It has been a uniquely exciting season for our church. We continue to see new people come to hear the Word of God proclaimed at our gathering, along with the joy of fellowship with long-time members. Our church is also making progress on submitting a dossier to the government for legal recognition. This is happening in tandem with a larger effort from Christians in Morocco likewise seeking basic legal rights—the right to gather in churches, the right to have Christian marriage, Christian names, Christian burials, etc. It is an exciting time for the small but growing body of believers in Morocco and we are thankful. As a family, we now have two kids in school. Milo and Norah are both doing great thus far in their academic career; although the adjustment to a new school year took a while. Our newest child, Marie, is growing well and is very smiley. Laura has been hard at work hosting our church and other guests, preparing meals, maintaining our home, and caring for children. Mitch has continued his work as a pastor, teaching, discipling, extending care, and by God’s grace shepherding our church. Recently we have been encouraged by Ephesians 2:7 “So that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.” How sweet it is to think that all we ever need or want is found in the grace of God.
