Morley Update 2013 #21





Everyone,



We leave this evening for WY. We have had a good week in WA visiting with "old" or perhaps I should say "long time" friends and making new ones. We have been staying with our good friends Don and Margaret Kennedy who we have been close to since our high school days when they were first the youth pastors at Kent's church and then mine. In fact it was through them that Kent and I first met. We have had three small group meetings as well as a couple of personal meetings with supporters while we were here. It is always good to share about what God is doing in Athens. He is always at work but lately He seems to have been particularly busy or at least we are seeing the results very clearly. (In my letter to supporters I could give more detail but in this public place I need to limit what I say so that I allow the people involved to share their faith when and with whom they are comfortable - thank you for understanding.)



We got a note from a friend this week that another dear woman friend of ours is being baptized. The women are still very afraid of the other refugee women finding out about their decision to be baptized because of the shunning that will result so when they want to let the team know that they are going to be baptized and invite them to attend they (use a code phrase). One of our team mates said she wasn't in the loop about this so when someone asked her if she wanted to come to a (code phrase) she said she would see if she had time. When she found out what was really happening she was thrilled and of course attended with joy.



We also got word that a friend who is in our community group who has been a believer for some time was baptized. (I have removed details about this young man so as to not endanger him) God is giving these people courage to step out even when it could be uncomfortable or even dangerous for them. Please continue to hold them up in prayer.



It has been good to have a week away from doctor's and tests, please keep praying with us that we will have some answers before we return to Greece. As always thank you so much for joining with us and with the Lord in this amazing work. We love you all.

Serving Him Together,
