We're here.

A lot has happened since the last blog update.  Simon was in Gran Canaria leading the worship at a conference and he also passed his driving test.  But the biggest and most obvious thing to have happened to us since we last wrote was our move.  We are here!  We are now living in Ballina.  We have been here for a month already and we are starting to settle in as if we have been here forever.  It feels like home especially now that we have internet.  Updating a blog without internet is not the same!  Until now we have been taking time to settle in.  Getting to know the town, getting to know some people and just learning how to live in this place.  The house is a real blessing.  The close proximity to Ballina is great and we are very thankful for it.  It has been time well spent because, as I mentioned before, we do feel as though we have settled in.  Sarai has made some friends and has been going to a mother and toddlers group and meeting with some local ladies.  This is a great way for Sarai to create relationships with ladies in the area. 

We have been attending Healing Waters Community Church.  It´s great to be part of a body of believers but we feel as though we are part of a much bigger body of believers here in the area.  There is a real heart for unity within the churches and the idea of a church without walls is what we are seeing.  The church in Ballina is working together to reach 1 common goal.  To see the Kingdom of God established in Mayo.  We are part of a group of leaders from the 4 churches in which we pray together for County Mayo.  God is doing something special here and we feel privileged to be a part of this.  

This next month Simon will be working with some guys from 3 different churches in a local housing community in the town.  He will be giving football classes with the boys and girls each Friday night with the hope of starting something more permanent in the estate.  Pray that this will go well and that the Lord will move in this community.  The estate is called Millview.   

We need to mention God's faithfulness in our lives too.  We have always seen His provision of every need and there has been no change in that in this past month.  Every need has been met and that can only be because of Him!  Continue to pray that He will provide for us.

Please also pray for the things mentioned above and continue to pray for us and our ministry in Ballina.  We also ask that you would pray for our friends Phillip and Alisha Brummett,  They feel the call of God to the UK/Ireland and they are hoping to take a trip to Ballina in November from Texas.  Pray that God will make clear His plan for their lives and that he would provide for the trip over.  We thank you for your prayers.  It is a vital part of what we are doing here.

We will update this blog every month now that we have internet.  If you would like to receive an email informing you of a new post you can become a member and follow us be email!  

Simon, Sarai, Ethan and Naomi Morrow
