Reach, teach, and send to South Africa


One of the special treats with the Texas team is the fact that Joe and Averyl Morris were with them.  Actually, Joe and Averyl were first with us!  Joe came to Helene in 2002, almost 2 years before our family arrived.  He and Averyl were married in January of this year, living in Roatan, traveling quite a bit in their honeymoon year.  Averyl is from South Africa, although her home has been in Roatan for the past 17 years.  At this posting, they are in the midst of planning to return to South Africa where we believe God is leading them in ministry.  They have been involved in working with the refugee camps during two different trips back to South Africa since they have been married (that is, since January of this year!) and their messages reverberated with the burden they have for the people there.  Averyl had come to Helene with Joe to do an internship a few weeks before the Texas team arrived.  She learned what "outside of your comfort zone" means and was a tremendous help to Brandy in the kitchen.  We are honored, Joe and Averyl, that you are continuing what God is doing in South Africa, and that you are a part of our AM family.
