Bread NEWS 13 - 'An Iranian has a vision of Jesus' & 'Second Wave of Deportations Hits Foreign Christians in Morocco'

Second Wave of Deportations Hits Foreign Christians in Morocco Report from Compass Direct News: In a second wave of deportations from Morocco, officials of the majority-Muslim country have expelled 26 foreign Christians in the last 10 days without due process. Following the expulsion of more than 40 foreign Christians in March, the deportations were apparently the result of Muslim hardliners pressuring the nation’s royalty to show Islamic solidarity. The latest deportations bring the number of Christians who have had to leave Morocco to about 105 since early March. Christians and expert observers are calling this a calculated effort to purge the historically moderate country, known for its progressive policies, of all Christian elements – both foreign and national.  ------------------------ An Iranian has a vision of Jesus Report from morethandreams.org Even as a small child, Khosrow questioned the “meaning of life.”  Everything around him raised questions.  Why do flowers have color?  What’s beyond the stars?  Where do we go when we die?  When no one could answer his many questions satisfactorily, his sensitive nature gave way to a growing depression. One day as a young man, he passed by an Assyrian Christian church and decided to go inside, thinking he might find answers to some of his “questions.”  There were only a few elderly women there and an elderly pastor who gave him a box of books.  The books were all in Farsi and among them was a copy of the New Testament, which Khosrow read from cover to cover.  But the experience of reading alone was not enough to satisfy his search for answers.  He threw the book across his room in despair.   Just then, the form of a man came to him in a vision.  This man extended his hands toward Khosrow and told him:  “Take my hands and everything will change forever.”
