Christian TV network SAT-7, which broadcasts across the Middle East and North Africa, is calling for prayers from Christians worldwide in the aftermath of the earthquake in Morocco. The call comes as many evangelical organisations step up their relief efforts.
After a week of clearing rubble and beginning to process the mourning for the dead, there is much to be done to help those who have lost their homes or livelihoods. Around 3,000 people have been confirmed dead, and over 5,600 have been injured.
Rami al-Halaseh, SAT-7’s Arabic Channels executive director, said: ‘Our hearts and prayers go out to the people of Morocco at this extremely distressing time. As a ministry, our first – and immediate – response was to call our satellite viewers and social media followers across the Middle East and North Africa to join us in prayer for all those affected’.
