"Morocco is ruled by a monarch who is purportedly a direct descendant of the prophet Muhammad and intends to govern the nation with Islamic principles. The North African country has experienced over 1,100 years of Islamic oppression since Morocco’s historic people group, the Berbers, were forced into Islam by invading Arabs in the eighth century. Today, only a fraction of 1 percent of the population is Christian. The growth of Christianity has been slow, with a major setback occurring in 2010 when hundreds of missionaries were forced to leave the country. With the rise of digital technology and social media, more Moroccans are coming to faith in Christ." Via: Voice of the Martyrs

Way to pray: Pray for the wisdom and strength of church leaders who face frequent interrogation from government officials. Pray for a spirit of unity in Christian communities, and pray that believers will grow in faith.

Juliet Githua is a missionary serving the Lord in Kenya, East Africa. Juliet is a graduate of the University of Nairobi, she has a bachelor’s degree with a major in Psychology and a minor in Sociology.

She became a born-again believer in her final year of university (2018). As she grew in her walk with God, she received a call to unreached people groups, especially the youth. Her desire is to spread the gospel and transform lives. Currently, she is working with World Mission Centre (WMC) as a frontier missionary to different Kenyan communities.

A degree in Psychology has allowed Juliet to work with high school students. Her main focus is working with the Christian students in the predominantly Muslim Schools, training them for missions work among tribal people by using the Live School Curriculum—a Missions and Leadership training curriculum that was designed by WMC. 

In December 2023, Juliet married John who is a teacher by profession. He serves as a teacher in a Muslim-dominated girl's high school. He is also passionate about reaching out and discipling Muslims, especially the youth. Juliet and John are expecting their first baby in the fall of 2025! 

Way to Pray: Pray for safety and the fruit of those they disciple! Please also pray for them as they build relationships with their neighbors and the community around them. Finally, please pray for Juliet and John as they are expecting a baby this fall!

Fellowship Greenville and Miracle Hill are partnering to offer Lifeline's Families Count (faith-based) parenting classes. These are classes that have been approved by DSS and the court system for parents who have lost custody of their children. Often, taking parenting classes is a requirement of the court for parents to regain custody of their children.

We have two big needs that people can volunteer to serve in. You can click the "Register" button to sign up for one of these opportunities.

• The first is volunteering to be a mentor for one of the individuals who will be taking the parenting class.
• The second is volunteering to make a meal for 18 people the night of one of these classes (meals will need to be dropped off at the Miracle Hill Family Ministry Center at 5:15 each evening).

The dates of the class are as follows: September 16, September 23, September 30, October 7, October 14, October 21 and October 28. You can register here. 

• Please pray for Slyvia Christy's dad (France) who has recently suffered a stroke. He is currently in rehab. Please pray for Sylvia who will likely be coming to Greenville to help care for him in the next few weeks.
• Please pray for one of our missionary couples who is working through the adoption process right now. 
• Please pray for one of our missionaries in a restricted access country who has a deadline approaching for a big project she's working on this next month!
• Please pray for Christians and other minority groups in Syria who are facing persecution! Pray especially that Christians will continue to be a strong witness to those around them. 
• Iglesia Alumbra, a partner church in Barranquilla, Colombia, asks us to help them pray for a larger place to worship. Please also pray for partners in Domzale, Slovenia, Médard-en-Jalles, France and Potsdam, Germany as they are also feeling the limitations of space!
