CANADIAN NATIONAL
BAPTIST CONVENTION
NAME

NAME partnership info
North Africa is a crossroads between sand, sea, and mountain, a region where ancient history and vibrant modern life intertwine. The air smells of mint tea and tajine spices while the sounds are a bustling souk (marketplace) and the call to prayer from nearby mosques. Despite its beauty, North Africa is a spiritual place of darkness and yet a place where God is revealing His glorious light.
