Refuge Dispatch: Fall '25

-

Greetings from the Shadowlands!

October has seen the start of Shadow Cross Refuge sinking its roots back into the ground, with the setting up of our office, an 8 X 12? space, with a storage closet perfect for the Antioch Backpacks.  We were blessed to already have a small daybed, desk, and a few spare shelves to go into the office.  We lack a few lamps, and then it will be a set space. It is our prayer that from here we will grow, and once on our permanent site, expand the outreaches.




The Antioch Backpacks are growing.   We have a lot of the supplies for the Ministry Aid Packs and the New Believer Packs, but lack the Backpacks for them.   Reversely, we have the Backpacks for the Rodeo Outreach Packs, and the Haven Outreach Packs, but lack the supplies to fill them.  

We are especially praying for the Black and Grey Backpacks to fill for Ministry partners and new Believers!

See the Antioch Backpacks page for more information!



The Evermore Devos are going strong, and we are working to get all of this year's posts on the blog.  Our thanks to the prayer partner, who came up with the Devos name! 

Keep praying that the Devos will touch the hearts of many in the coming months and years.




The Haven's raised beds got refilled, and a few late fall/winter over-growing items were planted.  The Sage and Echinacea are growing strong. If it is like most years, the Sage won't go dormant.   It is our prayer, possibly as soon as spring, to have our first herbal/wild foraging prayer walk where we discuss Native plants.

It is our goal over the winter to get more plans in place, and maybe even a few online classes available for free use.   A small tool the ministry can offer those who wish to learn about using God's plants to naturally care for ourselves and our families.





Pray for the growth of our team. Current 'tis just Morria running the beginnings of the Haven and Antioch Backpacks, with Rob as our on-call lay pastor/chaplain, but, prayerfully, more will come alongside soon, and more outreach can take place.   Rob needs prayer that the doctors, insurance, and hospital will agree, and he can have surgery before he becomes completely blind.   




Be in prayer as we seek our permanent ministry location, with the goal being by Spring 2027, if not sooner. 

~ Morria, Rob, and the Shadow Cross Refuge Team

"A voice cries, ' In the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord;  In the desert, prepare a pathway for the Lord .'" ~ Isaiah 40:3 After many journeys, across prairies, over desert mesas and arroyos, into thick smoky mountain woodlands,  the reality of the callings remains... The winds of Dine' Bikeyah call, no matter how many visits it takes us to get there. The shadowlands with its outcasts and subcultures still need tending... Thus Shadow Cross Refuge is born, here on our Foxtrail Hollow Ranch... Where a Western Cowboy and a Western Goth tend to God's creation,  and seek to help our brothers and sisters along the trail. " He makes me lie down in meadows of green healing herbs; He leads me to peaceful, still, restoring waters. " ~ Psalms 23:2 As this trail has brought Morria training in natural health and herbal medicine, we now seek to offer ministry that connects others to the tools of healing which our God made for us.  How this will look is uns...

Evermore Devos: October '25

  Standing in the Darkness You said the dark times would come... That persecution, hatred, and violence would be against us. You said the World would not understand us. You called us to walk in Your steps... That suffering would be part of our lot... But You promised Your peace would go with us. You said we would be Your lights in the darkness. That we would shine the Good News to the ends of the World... That the enemy would not get to rejoice if we fall... Because you are our Light. So to You, Jesus, we cry in these darkened times... Be our Light, and help us to shine for You, This Day, this Night, and Evermore.
