Weekly Update: 09/30/2013
We had a great week, and hope you had the same!
Brie is excited about her group of nursing students from UIndy this semester and is looking forward to watching them develop into well trained nurses. Meanwhile, Aliyana has been very interested recently in counting,saying her alphabet, and learning how to pray. It's so cute!
At work, we had a lovely couple from Tennessee come visit. They interested in serving in Latin America as a family with their 6 kiddos. We also got to talk with several college students who are interested in serving as interns or serving overseas when they graduate. Next week I will be traveling to Haiti to some door-to-door evangelism using the Evangecube and passing out fix-tuned solar powered radios that pick up our Christian station in Haiti. Please pray for open doors, hearts, and ample opportunities to share the Gospel.
Over the weekend, we were able to escape city life and go camping with my sister, her husband and little one. We met on the border of Ohio and West Virginia and really had a lot of fun. Ali got to eat her first s'more, roasted starburst, and loved getting to hang out with her uncle, aunt, and cousin.
We praise you and thank you for your prayers, supports, and encouragements!

Weekly Update: 09/23/2013
Friends,
Thank you for your support and encouragement! Our family had a fantastic week and are very blessed.
This past weekend we had lots of family time and were able to attend our churches Missions Worship Night. It was a night dedicated to worship and hearing testimonies of what the Lord is doing overseas. Brie and I helped out in the nursery and were excited to see all the young families interested in missions. It's a true blessing to be a part of a church that understands and takes seriously its commitment to the Great Commission.
This week, Ali has been fighting a double ear infection and sinus infection. She seems on the mend now that we have found a antibiotic that we can mask in her juice, yogurt, or ice cream. Please pray for us as we battle this sickness as a family. Briyana and Baby Morrell are doing well. We are eagerly anticipating getting to feel the baby kick, and are looking forward to October 24th when we get to see our little one for the first time on a sonogram. This weekend we are making a spur of the moment (or close to) camping trip where we plan on meeting up with some other family members in Ohio. It will be Ali's first camping experience and I'm sure lots of pictures will come out of the trip.
At OMS, we have a very busy week full of people interested in serving overseas. Please pray for the campus visits, telephone calls, and other conversations that will be had the rest of this week. Join us in prayer as we ask the Lord to abundantly provide more missionaries to serve both overseas and domestically to help see the Great Commission fulfilled.
God Bless!

Greetings!
We can't thank you enough for your prayers and support!
Last week went by fast, but we got a lot accomplished. The Miller family came to visit OMS as they continued their journey to get involved in missions. Please join us in prayer as they consider partnering with OMS to begin service in Ecuador, Colombia, or Venezuela. Last week we also started talking to a guy who is interested in serving in a part of Mexico that has never had ministry before. It's exciting to hear his heart for the un-engaged.
Last week and this week could have been called appointment weeks. Between dentist appointments, baby doctor appointments, and even vet appointments we spent a lot of time in waiting rooms. On a positive note though, only good news came from all those appointments and we scheduled another appointment to determine the sex of baby Morrell on October 24th. On Saturday we took advantage of the beautiful weather outdoors and visited a local apple orchard. Ali had a blast and we left with many good photos, apples, and apple cider!
At church we are enjoying our missions emphasis month. Yesterday, we had a guest speaker, Brian Hogan, share his testimony and emphasize the important yet simple message of sharing the Gospel to all nations and what that could look like for each of us. If you would like to listen to the message, you can find it here.
God Bless you!

Friends!
Thank you for your love and encouragement!
Our family had another busy week, but we survived and made it through. Brie is looking forward to feeling better and having more energy in the coming weeks as she comes of out her first trimester. We have a baby doctors appointment this Friday to see how Baby Morrell is doing. Please continue to pray for mama and baby.
Ali is really coming into her own these past few weeks and has become a real cuddle bug. The cuddling has been a pleasant surprise because in the past she had not been too much into cuddling. On Saturday and Sunday rather than playing, drawing, or helping mommy cook (one of her favorite things to do on the weekend), she preferred to cuddle on the couch with daddy, mommy, and occasionally Russ.
This week at OMS, we have lots of people looking into serving overseas. One couple is coming to visit later this week as they seek to explore how they can be disciplers and church planters overseas with OMS. Please pray for this couple and for more couples like this to come along. Currently are two biggest needs to be filled are Church Multiplication Facilitators in Ukraine and Ireland. Here is a link to the job description. Perhaps you know someone who might be interested.
At church this week, we talked about having a child like faith and how we must never become a stumbling block to others' advance toward Jesus. Often times people refer to children as "innocent," but rather it could be better said that they exhibit helpless dependence. We all come to him the same way, with a child-like helplessness.
God Bless!

Greetings Friend!
God is a global God on a global mission to redeem people from all tribes, tongues and nations. When God says all, He means it! Jesus gave the command to Go and make disciples of all nations. One Mission Society takes this seriously, knowing the task remains and determining to do our part in helping fulfill the Great Commission. The needs are global! The rewards are eternal! In Matthew 9:35-38, Jesus says the harvest is ripe, but the workers are few. Please join us as we pray that the Lord would call the workers to the fields to sow eternal rewards and share with the people all over the world the one thing that truly matters, a personal relationship with their Savior, Jesus Christ!
On the family front, we hope each of you had just as good of a Labor Day weekend as we did. We went up to Plymouth, Indiana to visit some friends that had moved away from Indianapolis. It was a lot of fun. We had the chance to go to a blueberry festival, listen to live music on the lake side, and grill out with friends.
Ali is a sponge these days and is learning new things everyday. The other day, one of us sneezed and without prompting, Ali turned around and said, "Bless you." It caught both Brie and I completely off guard and made us grin from ear to ear. She's listening to everything we say and do, and our hope is that she would soon see how a personal relationship with Jesus Christ is vitally important.
Baby Morrell is almost 13 weeks along now. We have a doctors appointment on September 13, but we won't be able to figure out if they are a girl or boy until the beginning of November. Would you please join us as God performs the awesome miracle of developing our little one in it's mother's womb?
Your prayers and support our a vital part of our ministry, and we can't thank you enough!
