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
