Congratulations !

We are soooo proud of our beloved Moroccan son Nj. Last month he finished Moody's graduate program! This is no small feat since he came to our country just a few years ago knowing only one person and no English! He came from a small village in the mountains where his family raise roses for their cash crop. =)

Beautiful Moody Church

Nj lived with us a little over 3 years while studying at Moody Bible Institute.
Imagine learning a new language and then writing papers, (theological papers at that) reading theology books, and listening to lectures in that language. This all at a school where that new language you are learning is native to most students and professors.

Chip Ingram ThM, President of Living on the Edge gives the keynote address.



What a privilege to have a Christian converted from Islam and from a totally different culture living with and being a part of our family. We will never be the same, truly.

Nj is one of the most joyful people you will ever meet.

Nj didn't just "get by" he did his work with excellence and got top grades!

We have been blessed and honored to have Nj as a part of our family.

". . . . . . fervently love one another from the heart, for you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and abiding word of God."

Congratulations!! That's so exciting. Has God revealed Nj's future plans yet or is he still waiting? With that background, I am sure God has big things in mind! =)
