Hi Guys.
Well, is has been a while since I've
done one of these but I thought I would catch you up.
After I went to Liberia in January, I
came home and hit the ground running with speaking and fundraising
for next year's project over there. You can watch a presentation
(slash) report of the trip by clicking the link below. You can also
click on the link to The Liberia Project's website and get the
details on next year's mission
Anthony Sackor and I are still working
on this but the highlights are: We have raised over $20,000 and have
a $30,000 matching fund to double any contributions. So that leaves
us with less than $30,000 to raise in the next couple of months. Now
that Fall is in the air, we are lining up speaking at various
churches and will be in Port Angeles and Seattle during the next
week.
Also, I have links to two newsletters
that we have published since the last time I posted. I have been
doing a lot of thinking about the nature of the Church and how its
people interact. We have problems in the Church that need to be
addressed. Pretending like they are not there, is only a recipe for
bigger issues down the road. Take a look at those two, I would love
to hear any feedback you might have.
RMW has been taking on some projects of
its own by partnering with area churches to help hurting families.
Through the Shepherd's Call ministry Duane is facilitating the
finishing of an addition on one home and the roofing of another. We
are delighted to be working alongside Bayside Community Church and
Saint Olaf's Catholic Church for these two projects.
Duane is also working with Eglon
Community Church to help them acquire a building from Kingston
Lumber. It involves disassembling a metal structure and moving it to
another location. He has already coordinated with the local Labor
Training Union to finish the project in the next week or so. Duane
has also been made a pastor of Eglon Community Church and he is
obviously enjoying the work.
On a personal note, I am starting a new
semester at seminary this week and will once again be buried in
theological studies. I'll be making a trip to Western Seminary in
Portland every other week this Fall, so I have a lot of long days
ahead of me. Also I'm looking for positions at churches and if you
have a recommendation, that would be welcome.
Susanna and the kids are doing well,
there's a great picture of children in the last newsletter.
Well, I'll keep it short here. Thanks
for praying for us.
Oh, before I go. I do have a comment
question for you. "What inspires you the most in your faith?"
I'm curious and really want to know.
Leave your remarks in the comment section below. I'm Locke Morgan
with Restoration Ministries Worldwide, have a great day!
