A Life That Sparks Questions: Ministry in Morocco
In Morocco, Haggai Leader Dr. Botros* serves as an Academic Coordinator, teaching psychology to students. Yet, his work extends far beyond the classroom. Dr. Botros* is also faithfully living out the mission of Christ, seeking to bring truth and hope to a community where misconceptions about Jesus and the Bible are common.
In Morocco, many have never heard the true Gospel, and what they do know is often clouded by misunderstanding. According to the 2023 US Department of State Report on International Religious Freedom, more than 99% of the country follows Islam, with the population of those who identify as Christians being in the mere thousands. This disparity often creates challenges for leaders who try to share opposing views, but that isn’t stopping Dr. Botros from pursuing his call to share the Gospel.
Dr. Botros sees this reality and embraces the opportunity to live differently and to reflect Christ in his words and actions. He explains, “Whenever someone asks me about the reason for my faith, I do my best to correct the misconceptions they hold about the Bible and our Lord Jesus Christ.” Using his background in psychology, he knows the importance of gently sharing the love of Christ while having a profound impact on the lives of those around him.
That difference has not gone unnoticed. Dr. Botros’s colleagues have begun to ask questions. One of his neighbors asked, “What makes you different? What is the book you read that changed you?” This simple question opened the door for Dr. Botros to share the truth underlying his life. He handed him a Bible as a gift, and his neighbor began to read and is now opening his heart to Jesus.
Moments like these fuel Dr. Botros’s passion and the calling God has placed on his life. Each conversation and each relationship becomes a step toward bringing his community closer to Christ. Dr. Botros says, “Every time I learn something new about teaching people the Gospel and the tools we can use to summarize and organize our vision, it affects me deeply.”
With courage and humility, leaders like Dr. Botros are transforming their communities with the Gospel. One relationship, one conversation, and one heart at a time.
