Dear Friends and Family

We are so excited and anxious to say that we have been officially accepted as appointees with Biblical Ministries Worldwide. Due to some areas of concern with Mount Abarim, and through the direction of the Lord, we have decided to pursue a partnership with BMW and our home church Messiah Baptist. BMW takes a distinct approach towards missions and we believe that together we will more effectively reach the Mexican people.
I would invite you all to check out BMW on their website, biblicalministries.org. I think you will find their ideas about missions to be exciting and creative.
I will have more to say about this in the future as all of the formalities are confirmed and we are done changing things around.

Thank you all so much for your continued prayer and financial help.

In Christ
Kevin & Crystal Elworth

Missionaries with Biblical Ministries Worldwide!

Dear Friends and Family,

Crystal and I have been learning so much about missions, things that we have never thought about before. There are also a lot of things we have been able to share to them about new ideas of how to do things. The one thing we have learned that has made the most impact is the fact that team work and prayer is vital to the success of a mission. We have also learned that deputation is not such a scary thing after all. It all depends on how much preparation and work you put into it. We are really excited about our upcoming deputation schedule and are anxious to start.
This past weekend I had the opportunity to share our testimony and passion to a local church here in Georgia. It is always a blessing to be able to talk about Mexico and allow people to pray for you. I truly believe that if we just get people to realize the power and prayer and the impact they can have on the people of Mexico through their prayers, we will have no problem raising the support we need to accomplish what we want to accomplish. We need God to supply our needs, not churches.
There are several things that you can specifically pray for us right now. We really need to fill our fall deputation schedule. Our first meeting is in New York, and we don’t have another meeting for a month after that. Pray that we are able to get more meetings in New York, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. We really don’t want to have to drive back and forth between the East Coast and Kansas. Please desperately pray that the Lord will fill our schedule.
Other needs we have are: stamps, and restaurant gift cards.
Thank you all for your faithful prayers and support

Back to School

Crystal and I are back to school again. We have arrived in Lawrenceville, Georgia, just outside Atlanta, for three intensive weeks of missions training. There are going to be several different missionary families here over the next weeks. It’s always exciting to talk to different missionaries and find out their ideas, and hear their stories.
We learn and are reminded daily of God’s care and dedication in taking care of us. Just this past week, one of our faithful supporting families came and told us that God had laid on their hearts to help us with our finances. They raised enough to pay for our candidate training! We are amazed at the ways God takes care of us without fail.
Please continue to pray for God’s direction in our lives as we make decisions concerning our future.

It has become extremely evident to me how important our prayer support is and will be over the years. Today we discussed deputation, and the various means, and ideas of how to raise adequate support, but the one thing that we could not get away from was the fact that prayer if vital support even more so than financial. Crystal and I are not dependant upon churches to provide the way for our ministry, we are dependant upon God. I truly believe that if we can raise the prayer support needed for our ministry than the finances will find their place as well. I do want to say that I am so grateful for those of you who have taken us on and have supported us over the months, we are so thankful for your sacrifices, and we pray that God reward you and bless you for giving to His cause.
We read today in Philippians 4:18 “At the moment I have all I need—more than I need! I am generously supplied with the gifts you sent me with Epaphroditus. They are a sweet-smelling sacrifice that is acceptable to God and pleases Him.”
The sacrifice that you give to us is actually a sacrifice to God on our behalf! Thank you so much.


Please stay in contact with us and let us know of your prayers. We love you all and are so excited to let you know of all we have learned here.

In Christ

Phil 1:27 “Striving together for the faith of the gospel!”

Dear Friends and Family,

Crystal and I would really appreciate your prayers right now. We have been through so much over the past two weeks, it seems like God has completely changed all of “our plans” and rerouted us into a better direction. I don’t want to go into to much detail because not all of it has been finalized as of yet, and you can be sure that I will let you all know what’s going on shortly.
We have cancelled our survey trip to Mexico this summer because of schedule conflict. I really take it that the Lord just didn’t have it in His perfect plan to have us be there this summer and has better plans elsewhere.
For the next three weeks we will be going through candidate training for missions and are so excited to learn more about what God has in store and about how missions works and how to do it effectively. We are excited about how to make deputation a time of fun and adventure, meeting new people and places. We are anxious to see where God takes us and how He is going to get us there.
Also please pray specifically that God will provide our needs. This three week training was rather unexpected and we really don’t have all the finances to take care of three weeks off of work. We have health insurance, car payment, cell phone, electricity, school loan, as well as food, travel expenses ect. for this trip. Also this training will cost $550 for us to attend.
I read a few weeks ago in the book of Matthew about when Jesus walked on the water. Peter wanted to meet Jesus there and began to walk on the water himself with the Lords direction. For that one single moment Peter was the only man to ever walk on water. At that moment his whole entire focus was on Christ alone. Not a single other thing mattered, just Christ alone. And then he lost his faith and began to sink. What if we could all have that same faith that Peter had at that one moment? This world would be a different place! The Lord has really been challenging our faith lately. God is so good and His word is perfect, He has never failed us and never will, but I’m sure you all know how hard it is at times to have faith. Please pray that God brings in those finances for the bills that we have.. As you can tell is expensive to be a missionary on deputation, but once again God is faithful.

Thank you all so much for your prayers and support, we would never make it without them

This e-mail address is probably going to change, so please start e-mailing us at the address located on the prayer card we gave you (if you don’t have one, please just let me know and I will get one to you).

Pre-Deputation Woes

These past few days have been stressful and hectice to say the least. You know it's odd how when all seems to be wonderful for a time and we get comfortable, and really think that we are in control, that is when God decides to change things up and throw in a wrench so to speak. I do have to say that I am grateful that we are being guided and directed by our loveing Heavenly Father. I cannot imagine being alone in this adventure. God is so good to us. He is so faithrul and willing, caring and kind. AFter we get all this sorted out i will be a bit more descriptie in telling you all how to more effectively pray for us. That's just what we need right now. Wisdom for the decisions ahead, and prayer for our sustenance. Please pray for us, we have so much to decide in just the next few days.
