Underground Wire Version 2: Issue 2                                                        Monsoon '23 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Outposts, like Desert Refuge Outpost , are to be safe havens and ministry centers scattered around the Southwest, North America, and even the World, for the sake of aiding those in the subcultures, the Underground, and those ministering to and with them.   These Outposts will serve as locations where Subculture Missionaries can gather for training, pack/receive Antioch Bags for Ministry, get training in sustainable foraging/gardening/wildsteading, and also provide food into the community by partnering with Farmers Markets and Food Pantries. Each location will be run by a host family, Desert Refuge Outpost for example is operated by myself, Lady Morria, and my husband Robby.  There will be others nearby who either stay on location, or at nearby homes, who work with the Outpost, and who serve in the local communities reaching out to the lost and dying in the shadowlands.  They will be near local subculture centers, but enough in the country to be safe places of re...

Often I get asked, why do I work in the Shadowlands?   Why do I give my time, my effort, and my heart to reaching those at the edge? Why do I pour my time into the outcasts, subcultures, and the underground? Why do I, one who has served as a missionary among the Dine' (Navajo), now work in the shadows? Because I have a duel calling? Because even when I try not to, I am? Because my Lord asked me to, Because I don't go, who will? This is my purpose, my calling, my place. This is where I serve. Yes, I serve locally, but even then it is among America's oldest subculture, the Cowboys, alongside my husband.   Yes, I sing, praises to the Lord, and am beginning to find my own Southern Gothic style... Yes, I am still a missionary, going back on trips to Dine' Bikeyah, and here in the shadowlands. This is my place in the thick of things... This is where I serve... Where are you being asked to serve? In Umbra Terras, Lady Morria

 What does Faith in the subcultures really mean... For those who have spent many years in the subcultures and have come out of it to Christianity....the very thought of Christians being within the subcultures seems nearly impossible due to the spiritual darkness and bondage within the Shadowlands.  There ARE many things out there tied into the subcultures that MUST be broken with to serve Christ.  Our lives must line up with the Word, or we are but in bondage ourselves, to a Christianity that does not glorify the Lord, but the flesh instead. " Rebellion ,  Necromancy, Idolitry (anything placed above God) ,  Lust ,  Sexual Perversions,  Sex  (outside of   marriage),    Murder,  Cutting,  Suicide  (attempts),  Drugs,  Drinking,  Gluttony,  Self- Harm , Injustice, Oppression, Victimisation, Abuse,  Wrath,  Hate, and anything other things to which God says 'No'..." All these MUST be br...

  "I look towards the hills.  Where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD God, maker of Heaven and Earth." As we journey through the shadowlands, Along life's rough trails, Over the mesas and mountains tall, Only to see the valleys below... Are we looking towards the One  Who knows the beginning from the end? Are we clinging to the Alpha and Omega, Who is our Daddy Father? Are we calling out to He Who guides us through life's shadows into Heaven's light? No matter where you are at on life's trails, call out to Jesus. He will meet you where you are at, and help you get to where you are going. In Umbra Terras,   Lady Morria

I t has been nearly ten years since the ministry was live full-time... For me (Morria) , it has been nigh five years; five years of searching, wandering, and uncertainty...  Many pathways, many callings, and many pullings to walk many pathways.   So many people hurting, so many places in need.   Yet still in the shadowlands, the underground, of my youth does my heart seek refuge... In the shadow of my God, underneath the stone high cross... T o here a mission was given, my love of olden times, the subcultures in the shadowlands, the rewilding of the land... My deep belief in Jesus my Creator and Savior. Five times hath death knocked upon my door... Thrice by Car: once in rain, once on ice, once by a flood. Once by Spider and Medicine: Brown Reculus Spider and Lidocaine reaction. Once by Mystery Illness of whince I still struggle, though no longer bedridden. In truth, I must be about the tasks given, teaching what I know, for why else was I spared these many...
