Deputation Week One

Dear Friends and Family,


I read this morning in Proverbs 21:1 “The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.” Despite the fact that I am not a king in any sense of the word, I am glad that the Lord directs our paths, and that He has over the past week.

We have genuinely seen how the Lord came bless faith not only in our life but in the lives of others as well. We have the opportunity this week to help out a church in need of some construction experience. The Lord has blessed them (because I have construction experience) and the Lord has blessed us (because we will have a place to stay for the next few days, and an opportunity to build another relationship)! God is good.

I have attached a few pictures that we took yesterday at Niagara Falls, Canada. As you can see, it is simply beautiful. That was the first time Crystal or I have ever been to Canada or seen the falls. We really enjoyed our time. That’s just one of the many benefits of being a missionary is being able to see the beautiful parts of this country.

The Lord has simply been good to us, and for that we praise Him.
Pray for us specifically that He will provide good meeting opportunities for the next months. Pray for our provision as we live by faith.

For the sake of the call,

Kevin & Crystal Elworth
Phil 1:27

Orientation Training

Crystal and I have completed our orientation training at Biblical Ministries Worldwide. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there, getting to know their staff and all the policies and practices that they help their missionaries with. We really like BMW’s philosophy on how the handle the finances of missionaries and how they are so willing to help in any area they can. We are now part of a mission family!

Currently we are preparing to start traveling full-time on deputation. Our first stop will be Rochester, New York where we have been invited to a Pastor’s Conference. It will be a good time for us to get to know some pastors and just get ready for deputation a bit. We are excited about where God will take us from there. We really have no idea where the Lord will take us from there. We are out to be servants in other churches and see where we can be most effectively used by Him. We want to be a blessing to others and that’s about it.

Please be in prayer for us as we begin our travels. Pray that the Lord will provide His protection over us as we travel. Pray that we will find churches willing to have us in and present our work. Also pray that He will provide a Digital Video Projector as we really need one now. Some other small needs are: stamps, restaurant gift cards, and a travel refrigerator.

For the sake of the call,

Kevin & Crystal Elworth
