Morley Update 2012 #8

Everyone -
Just a short note to let everyone we are well and continuing on with the work God has given us. Kent is pretty well over his cold. I have continued to struggle with some headaches and eye issues so am seeing an ophthalmologist today. That is why this will be a very short note - my appointment is at 11am and I need to get my laiki shopping etc done first since I know they will dilate my eyes and when they did it the last time I was pretty miserable the rest of the day.

It has continued to be cold and cloudy here with even some snow again on Tuesday. I had stayed home that day but Kent went in and said there was a smaller crowd probably due to the weather.

Yesterday we had a team prayer day. These are always special times of supporting one another, praying for one another and sharing our lives and ministries together. Yesterday was also our team leader Brett's last day in that job. As of today Kent is the team leader. This is not a position he sought or even was sure he wanted but God has done a work in his heart and mind and he is excited about the challenges ahead. Brett and his wife Kristin will still be with us until mid June - they have a baby coming in May. Brett will continue to serve on the team for the next couple of months and help with the transition. Our team has shrunk in size. Our first year here there were 19 full time staff not counting spouses and kids. Now we have 15 full time staff (14 when Brett leaves) and four of those are on furlough until after May. We are especially lacking in men and are thankful to some refugee believers who have stepped up to help out. The smaller team means we may be making some adjustments in how we do things. These next months will be a time of reorganizing how leadership works and looking over our programs. So far we have been able to continue everything but pray for us as we adjust to the changes. Though we are a smaller team, I have to say we are a quality team. The group of people God has allowed us to be a part of is such a gift. God has blessed us with language speakers, organizers, people with passion for kids, women, men and babies. As people have left God has raised up others to take their place and His work has continued. We look forward to what He has in store ahead. Thank you for standing with us in prayer and financial support. We love you all.

Serving Him Together,
