Morley Update 2011 #16

Everyone,

It seems that my life lately has consisted of trips to the airport (three in the last week and a half) and doing orientations. We have another team coming in tomorrow so it's back to the airport. I feel like my brain is very full with trying to remember everyone's details and make sure nothing falls through the cracks. (The cracks are getting wider every day!)

Saturday after tea house we started the discussion group for new believers and seekers. We are going through the book of John. Scott, Kent and Nader are leading, I am sitting in. Last week it was 7 men and me. We expect several more to join that didn't make it that day. After we were finished a man came in and said to Nader "Oh, I came for the class about Jesus". Nader had never seen him before and asked how he knew about it. He said some friends told him about it. Nader gave him a ticket to come to the men's Farsi Speaking Outreach for Friday and told him what time to come for class the next week. He asked the man if he wanted a Farsi Bible and the man happily accepted. God is at work. By the time we cleaned up and left we didn't get home until 8pm which made for a long day.

Sunday we got home from church and Kent packed his things and left for a week at Men's camp. I have spoken with him a couple of time and it is going well. Two of the men in the seekers class (one of whom Kent meets with regularly for English) are there and he has met a couple of other men he enjoys. This is a great chance to get men out of the city for relationship building and relaxation plus they are involved in discussion groups about the bible. Kent said there were about 40 refugee men there.

Tuesday we got our third intern, Lauren, also a Moody student. She is staying with us as well and Emily has been a big help showing her around the neighborhood and how to ride the bus and metro. They have both jumped right in to ministry and are starting an English class for young women on Friday. They are also both interested in doing some wordless drama so we are going to work on that some this next week or

Wednesday was Kent and my 38th anniversary. I believe this is the first one we haven't celebrated together. However our celebrations are usually pretty low key - for our 20th we had chili dogs at 7-11. I think we will try to spend the day together on Monday. It seems like we have just been passing each other in the hall lately with so many people coming and going and such a hectic schedule.

Please pray for us that we don't get so caught up in the "busyness" that we forget to be about our Father's "business".

I wanted to tell you about one other thing. International Teams has release a new CD called Songs for the Oppressed. If you would like to buy either a CD or download you can use the link here and $5 of the purchase price will go into Kent and my ministry account. https://wwws.iteams.org/songs?ap_id=US1425 Enjoy.
