Late Update - TXT

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!
