Darija, the commonly spoken dialect of Arabic, is a mix of Berber, French, Spanish and Arabic and distinct from the Modern Standard Arabic used in written publications. "It shows how much local churches love God and his Word, and also care about their country and culture," said a front-line worker, who added that the new Bible will help Moroccan Muslims see that Christianity is not just a Western religion. This first translation of the full Bible will also help Moroccan Christians grow in faith.
