KEVIN ELWORTH LIVE

It’s been a while since i have had opportunity to do any updating here. These last four weeks have been horrendously busy for us, but they have been so full of blessing. We have been encouraged, challenged, refreshed, and blessed above all.

Our first meeting was in Shreveport, LA at a church that partnered with us nearly a year ago without even meeting us. They have been faithful supporters since day one and are a phenomenal church in the area of world-wide evangelism. They truly go above and beyond the call of their duty. Awesome church and we can’t wait to be apart of their conference again the future.

Conference number two was in a suburb of Atlanta with a church that is associated with our mission in a great deal. A very giving church and very encouraging. Thanks to them we will hopefully be producing some great videos over the next years with their purchase of our new video editing software. We will use these avenues to hopefully reach and challenge young people in the area of missions.

Conference number three was a whirlwind. We were in these two conferences in the same week. From Saturday through Tuesday night in Atlanta, Wednesday morning flying to Dallas and starting again with Wednesday night through Sunday. It was a crazy busy week but well worth it. Thursday we took a detour from their schedule for a visit to one of their finest local medical facilities to find the cause of the severe pain Cris was enduring. We found two more cysts making their presence known in her body. She is still dealing with this pain. We are praying and faithfully depending on God to deal with the issue. We will check up on it once we get back to Mexico next week.

Friday of this conference was my highlight. They took us guys to the Texas Motor Speedway for a tour of the track and lunch at the speedway club. It was awesome being that I am a super nascar enthusiast. I really enjoyed it.

By the time we flew back to Atlanta Monday we were wasted and we are grateful to have all three behind us.

I have mentioned many times before about the importance of these three meetings with what God had put on our hearts.  Between Cris and I we had 17 opportunities to speak to various venues during these three conferences and prayerfully we will see God work and provide teammates, teams and fellow mission workers in the years to come. God is awesome to allow us these opportunities to one raise more monthly support and two encourage/challenge people in the area of where they will serve God with their lives.

Thanks for your prayers.

On our way home to Zacatecas we drove through Houston where we usually spend the night. Just outside the city on our drive in we hit a wall of traffic that would not move. I thought alright construction/accident typical traffic jam situation. O no! This was the big one. Like the Nascar big one they always talk about. We never actually saw the accident. I guess it was so bad that they completely cleared it from the highway before they allowed traffic to continue. We ended up being stuck in that jam for nearly 3 hours! How fun is that! Not so much, let me tell you.

Austin was getting so antsy to just get out of the car, eventually we just shut down right there and got out. Austin and I walk around, talked to some other drivers and Cris and Austin tried to get some of the truck drivers to honk their horns. Evidently they didn’t think it was a good idea, honking the horn while stuck in a traffic jam. Probably a good thing.
