family kicked out of Morocco after being accused of teaching Christianity to Muslim children is settling back into life

Deported Kiwi family enjoys life back in NZ | Stuff.co.nz: "kiwi family kicked out of Morocco after being accused of teaching Christianity to Muslim children is settling back into life in New Zealand.

Chris and Tina Broadbent, and their children, William, now 3, and Samuel, now 2, were forced out of Morocco in March.

The couple had just found out Mrs Broadbent was pregnant again, and a third son Benjamin is now two months old.

The pair had been working in the Village of Hope, a children's home in the Middle Atlas mountains of Morocco, for 18 months.

The Broadbents were expelled from the country, along with about 20 other foreign workers, after Christian materials were allegedly found in the foster homes where 33 children lived.

In 2002, the Village of Hope registered with the Moroccan Government as an official Christian organisation and received permission to talk about Christianity to the children in their care.

But in March they were given only 90 minutes to pack all their possessions into their car, before being escorted by armed guards to the Moroccan border.

Once they reached Spain, they stayed there for three months helping with legal efforts to try to get the orphans reunited with the evicted foster parents before returning to New Zealand and settling back into life in Auckland."
