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
For the sake of the call,
Kevin & Crystal Elworth
