Agadir is a city on the Atlantic coast of southern Morocco. It is the capital of the province of Agadir Ida-outanane. It has a population of 979,248. The \u00c9glise Evang\u00e9lique Au Maroc (Evangelical Church in Morocco–EEaM) has been established here for many years, but the Agadir congregation was without a permanent pastor at one point. When the members learned that a couple of pastors had been assigned, it was truly a time of joy and elation. We were welcomed with great joy. My wife and I were even surprised by such a welcome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s true that my responsibility is much more at the national level with pastors and training in all the congregations; but living here locally in Agadir, I assume certain responsibilities and I have a duty to be able to supervise the members. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generally speaking, all the congregations of the EEaM have students as the majority. Some large congregations have couples and working people among their members. But there are several that have 90 or 95% students. In our various visits, we realize that many have emotional issues. Some leave their parents at the age of 18, others at 19 or 20. For many of them, it is their first time away from home, and the separation creates a void in their lives. Some of them would like to keep in contact with their parents, but complain that their parents tend only to send them money. In other words, they are only interested in the financial side of things. They don’t give them enough time for conversation. They would still like to have time to share with parents by telephone, but they are unsuccessful. The students still need them, but the parents don’t understand them. They’ve even asked us to help with conversations between them and their parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others, on the other hand, have difficulty adapting. Being cut off from their parents in a new city, a new country with new rules, they sometimes have difficulties with eating patterns, culture, and the university system because they come from the humanities and are starting university. Some of them have to learn how to cook. All these changes create emotional challenges. Others find it difficult to manage their freedom because everyone occupies their own room and apartment, so they’re on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some have problems because of failing grades. They’ve failed, haven’t adapted successfully, and don’t know how to tell their parents. Some students aren’t at the level they’d like parents to believe and others aren’t even studying anymore but don’t know what to say to parents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve learned that some students are ready to finish their studies, but their university diplomas won’t be recognized in their home countries. All these things make some of them think of suicide. We have contacts with young people who have decided to commit suicide because they don’t know what to do. They have problems, lots of problems. They have many frustrations. They need help, whether it’s during preaching or face-to-face. Some of the pastors have invited us to talk to the students, and we’ve discovered that there are definitely some serious problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the EEaM, the church year ends in August, and the new year begins in September. During this period, meetings are held to evaluate the past year and prepare for the coming one, with commission leaders and the presbyteral council. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A retreat followed to analyze the resolutions reached at the meetings. And it was during this retreat, held on September 08, 2023, at around 11 p.m. that there was an earthquake. The tremors were keenly felt and drove us out of the house. We were all out in a stampede. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the people here in Agadir were outside because the earthquake generally kills those inside houses and spares those outside and away from buildings. So we were outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometime later, we returned to the house to continue the meeting, but it was traumatic because the damage caused by the earthquake here in Agadir in 1960 still echoes to this day. Indeed, in 1960, there was a first earthquake that caused no damage, but the second aftershock, a few hours later, devastated the entire city center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a while, news came in from all over about the devastation caused by the first aftershock of that night’s earthquake in towns near Agadir. There had been deaths, injuries, loss of homes, and so on. There were thoughts that perhaps at 05:00 a.m., there would be a second earthquake, so people couldn’t even sleep and stayed up all night to save themselves from a second aftershock. In the end, nothing of the sort happened that night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following day, we welcomed some students who could not sleep at home, preferring to come to the presbytery to spend the night following the fear caused by the tragedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, on the first Sunday after the tragedy, worship was not as well attended as usual, as most people had not slept. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking on the bright side, this earthquake has personally taught us some important lessons about how the earth is not really a place of safety. When we’re on a plane and land, we generally cheer to say we’re safe on the ground. The earth is a place of assurance. When we climb a tree and come down from it, we say thank you, Lord, because it’s on the land that there’s safety. When we’re on a pirogue [a sort of canoe] that floats back and forth, we pray, and when we land on solid ground, we thank the Lord. But in this earthquake, the earth itself had lost its safeness. This made us realize that assurance is only in Christ himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were struck by the loss of fortune of some people, who lost their buildings. Some have even lost family members. In fact, this morning, whistles were handed out to people, because the advice is such that at night, you have to have all your identity papers ready and everything you need (a bottle of water, a bit of banana, etc.) in a bag, because you don’t know what might happen. A whistle to signal where you are when the house collapses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All these lessons of caution are important, but the danger is that they amplify the trauma, because knowing that one day the house could collapse on a person is disturbing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Church is collecting money in each parish to set up a solidarity fund to give to the government for those in desolation. This is the Church’s mission. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s a little peace now, but we must keep praying because the trauma hasn’t completely dissipated. Classes have started for the students, so we continue to help them by talking with them during the various meetings. In this respect, we really need your prayers for peace in the hearts of the various members of the Church. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you, God bless you all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La situation du s\u00e9isme \u00e0 Agadir<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Agadir est une ville situ\u00e9e sur la c\u00f4te atlantique au sud du Maroc. Elle est la capitale de la province d\u2019Agadir Ida-outanane. Elle a une population de 979.248 habitants. L’\u00c9glise Evang\u00e9lique Au Maroc y est implant\u00e9e depuis de longues dates ; mais \u00e0 un certain moment, la paroisse d\u2019Agadir \u00e9tait rest\u00e9e sans un pasteur permanent. Et lorsque les membres ont appris qu\u2019il y a un couple de pasteurs qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 affect\u00e9, c’\u00e9tait vraiment de la joie, de l’all\u00e9gresse. Nous avons \u00e9t\u00e9 accueillis avec beaucoup de joie. Nous \u00e9tions m\u00eame \u00e9tonn\u00e9s d’un tel accueil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C’est vrai que ma responsabilit\u00e9 est beaucoup plus au niveau national aupr\u00e8s des pasteurs et des formations dans toutes les paroisses ; mais habitant ici sur place \u00e0 Agadir, j’assume certaines responsabilit\u00e9s et j\u2019ai le devoir de pouvoir encadrer les membres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De mani\u00e8re g\u00e9n\u00e9rale, toutes les paroisses de l’\u00c9glise Evang\u00e9lique Au Maroc ont en majorit\u00e9 les \u00e9tudiants. Il y a de grandes paroisses qui comptent parmi leurs membres, des couples et des gens qui travaillent. Mais il y en a plusieurs qui ont \u00e0 90 ou 95% des \u00e9tudiants. Dans nos diff\u00e9rentes visites, nous nous rendons compte que plusieurs ont des probl\u00e8mes \u00e9motionnels. Certains quittent leurs parents \u00e0 l’\u00e2ge de 18 ans, d’autres \u00e0 l’\u00e2ge de 19 ans ou 20 ans. Cette s\u00e9paration est, pour beaucoup d’entre eux, la premi\u00e8re fois et cr\u00e9e un vide dans leur vie. Certains aimeraient garder ce contact avec les parents, mais se plaignent que les parents, ont tendance \u00e0 ne s’occuper que de l’envoi de l’argent, autrement dit, ne s\u2019int\u00e9ressent donc que du domaine financier. Ils ne leur donnent pas assez de temps pour le dialogue. Ils aimeraient quand m\u00eame avoir du temps de partage par t\u00e9l\u00e9phone avec les parents mais sans succ\u00e8s. Ils en ont toujours besoin, mais les parents ne les comprennent pas. Ils nous ont m\u00eame demand\u00e9 de pouvoir \u00e9tablir le dialogue entre eux et les parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D’autres par contre ont des difficult\u00e9s d’adaptation. \u00c9tant coup\u00e9s avec les parents dans une ville nouvelle, un pays nouveau avec des r\u00e9glementations nouvelles, ils ont parfois des difficult\u00e9s sur le plan de la restauration, sur le plan de la culture, sur l\u2019organisation de l’universit\u00e9, parce qu\u2019ils viennent des humanit\u00e9s et ils commencent l’universit\u00e9. Ils doivent apprendre \u00e0 cuisiner pour certains. Tous ces changements cr\u00e9ent des probl\u00e8mes sur le plan \u00e9motionnel. D’autres ont des difficult\u00e9s sur la gestion de la libert\u00e9 parce que chacun occupe sa chambre, son logement et donc il se g\u00e8re seul, il n’y a pas de garde-fou et d’autres ont peur de d\u00e9rapages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Certains ont des probl\u00e8mes \u00e0 cause des \u00e9checs. Ils ont \u00e9chou\u00e9, ils n’ont pas satisfait et ils ne savent pas comment le dire aux parents. Il faut donc dire qu’il y a m\u00eame des \u00e9tudiants qui ne sont pas au niveau o\u00f9 ils font croire aux parents, d’autres n’\u00e9tudient m\u00eame plus mais ne savent pas quoi dire aux parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nous avons appris qu\u2019il y a des \u00e9tudiants qui sont pr\u00eats \u00e0 terminer leurs \u00e9tudes mais les dipl\u00f4mes de leurs universit\u00e9s ne seront pas reconnus dans leurs pays d\u2019origine. Toutes ces choses font que certains d’entre eux pensent au suicide. Nous avons des contacts avec des jeunes qui ont pris la d\u00e9cision de se suicider parce qu’ils ne savent plus quoi faire. Ils ont de probl\u00e8mes, beaucoup de probl\u00e8mes. Ils rencontrent plusieurs frustrations. Ils ont besoin d’aide, que \u00e7a soit pendant les pr\u00e9dications, tout comme pendant des entretiens. Nous avons \u00e9t\u00e9 invit\u00e9s par certains pasteurs uniquement pour parler avec les \u00e9tudiants et nous avons d\u00e9couvert que certainement, il y a des probl\u00e8mes s\u00e9rieux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dans l’\u00c9glise Evang\u00e9lique Au Maroc, l’ann\u00e9e eccl\u00e9siale prend fin au mois d’ao\u00fbt et l’ann\u00e9e nouvelle ann\u00e9e commence au mois de septembre. C’est pendant cette p\u00e9riode qu\u2019il y a des r\u00e9unions d\u2019\u00e9valuation de l\u2019ann\u00e9e \u00e9coul\u00e9e et de pr\u00e9paration de l\u2019ann\u00e9e prochaine, avec des responsables des commissions et le conseil presbyt\u00e9ral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Une retraite s\u2019en est suivie pour analyser des r\u00e9solutions prises lors des r\u00e9unions. Et C\u2019est pendant cette retraite, tenue le 08 septembre 2023, aux alentours de 23 heures qu\u2019il y a eu un tremblement de terre. Des secousses qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 fortement ressenties, ce qui nous a fait sortir de la maison. Nous \u00e9tions tous dehors, en d\u00e9bandade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tout le mponde ici \u00e0 Agadir \u00e9taient dehors parce que le tremblement de terre tue g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement ceux qui sont dans des maisons et \u00e9pargne ceux qui sont \u00e0 l’ext\u00e9rieur et loin des immeubles. Nous \u00e9tions donc \u00e0 l’ext\u00e9rieur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quelques temps apr\u00e8s, nous sommes revenus dans la maison pour continuer la r\u00e9union mais c\u2019\u00e9tait traumatisant, parce que les d\u00e9g\u00e2ts caus\u00e9s par le tremblement de terre ici \u00e0 Agadir, en 1960, parle encore jusqu\u2019aujourd\u2019hui. En effet, en 1960, il y a eu un premier tremblement de terre qui n\u2019avait caus\u00e9 aucun d\u00e9g\u00e2t et c’\u00e9tait la deuxi\u00e8me r\u00e9plique, survenue quelques heures apr\u00e8s, qui avait ravag\u00e9 tout le centre-ville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Au bout d\u2019un moment, les Nouvelles nous venaient de partout des ravages qu\u2019avait caus\u00e9 cette premi\u00e8re r\u00e9plique du tremblement de terre de cette nuit-l\u00e0 dans des villes proches d\u2019Agadir. Il y avait eu des morts, des bless\u00e9s, des pertes de maisons, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il y a donc eu des r\u00e9flexions telles que peut-\u00eatre \u00e0 05 heures, il y aura un second tremblement de terre, ce qui a fait en sorte que les gens n’ont m\u00eame pas pu dormir et ont veill\u00e9 toute la nuit afin de se sauver d\u2019une seconde r\u00e9plique qui pourrait survenir. Finalement, rien de la sorte ne se produit cette nuit-l\u00e0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le jour suivant, nous avons accueilli certaines \u00e9tudiantes qui n’ont pas pu dormir chez elles, qui ont pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9 venir au presbyt\u00e8re pour y passer nuit suite \u00e0 la peur caus\u00e9e par la trag\u00e9die.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D’ailleurs le premier dimanche apr\u00e8s cette trag\u00e9die, il n\u2019y avait pas une forte participation au culte comme d\u2019habitude car la plupart n’avait pas dormi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En voyant le bon c\u00f4t\u00e9 de choses, ce s\u00e9isme nous a personnellement donn\u00e9 des le\u00e7ons importantes sur le fait que la terre n\u2019est pas vraiment un lieu d\u2019assurance ; parce que lorsque nous sommes dans un avion et que nous atterrissons, g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement nous acclamons pour dire que nous sommes sur la terre. La terre, c’est le lieu d’assurance. Lorsque nous montons sur un arbre,  et quand nous descendons de l\u2019arbre, nous disons merci Seigneur, parce que c’est sur la terre qu\u2019il y a la s\u00e9curit\u00e9. Lorsque nous sommes sur une pirogue et qu\u2019elle flotte de part et d\u2019autre, nous prions et lorsque nous accostons sur la terre ferme, nous remercions le Seigneur. Mais lors de ce s\u00e9isme, la terre elle-m\u00eame avait perdu d’assurance. Cela nous a fait comprendre que, l’assurance n’est qu’en Christ lui-m\u00eame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nous avons \u00e9t\u00e9 frapp\u00e9s par la perte de fortune de certaines personnes, qui ont perdu leurs immeubles. Certains ont m\u00eame perdu les membres de familles. Et \u00e7a nous am\u00e8ne, nous oblige de pouvoir continuer \u00e0 encadrer les fid\u00e8les parce que des traumatismes continuent et d\u2019ailleurs ce matin des sifflets ont \u00e9t\u00e9 remis aux gens car les conseils sont tels que la nuit, il faut pr\u00e9parer toutes les pi\u00e8ces d\u2019identit\u00e9 et tout ce qu\u2019il faut (une bouteille d’eau, un peu de banane, etc.) dans un sac car on ne sait pas ce qui peut arriver. Le sifflet pour signaler l\u00e0 o\u00f9 on est, lorsque la maison s’\u00e9croule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toutes ces le\u00e7ons de prudence sont importantes, mais le danger, c’est que cela amplifie le traumatisme ; parce que savoir qu\u2019un des jours la maison peut s’\u00e9crouler sur une personne, c\u2019est quelque chose qui d\u00e9range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L\u2019\u00c9glise est en train de collecter de l’argent au niveau de chaque paroisse pour constituer un fond de solidarit\u00e9 \u00e0 donner au gouvernement pour ceux qui sont dans la d\u00e9solation. C’est la mission de l’\u00c9glise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il y a un peu de qui\u00e9tude maintenant, mais nous devons continuer \u00e0 prier parce que le traumatisme n\u2019est pas compl\u00e9tement dissip\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les cours ont commenc\u00e9 pour les \u00e9tudiants, nous continuons donc \u00e0 les aider en parlant avec eux pendant les diff\u00e9rents entretiens. A ce sujet, nous avons vraiment besoin de vos pri\u00e8res pour la paix dans le c\u0153ur des diff\u00e9rents membres de l\u2019Eglise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Merci,
Que Dieu vous b\u00e9nisse !<\/p>\n\n\n\n
