Hello prayer warriors,
Let me start off by saying thank you for being one of the faithful prayer partners for the Elwell family and this work. There are some of you who have been regularly praying for our family for over a year and a half, and boy have we felt loved on. I sincerely believe God has heard your prayers and is answering them in amazing ways.
So far every week, we have had first-time visitors walk through our doors. They have come from a knock on their door, a recommendation from another pastor, or just because they were walking by. We have seen two saved in the services over the last two weeks and 1 saved in their home. We are also seeing people starting to talk about Crossway being their home church after only 4 weeks. Thank you for your prayers.
We are looking forward to our very first ladies meeting this Thursday evening. We are expecting between 6 to 9 ladies to come. Amber has planned a craft for them to work on that will eventually be used in our building once we’re in a more permanent location. We’re praying that this will be not only an enjoyable time for several different ladies to get to know each other, but also a time of encouragement and realization of the blessings of having a church family to be a part of.

Now that we are here, my wife and I decided that because of the extreme complexity of our schedules and the monotony (albeit exciting monotony) of the daily grind we are in, we will be updating a little less frequently. We plan on updating about once every two or three weeks. This will allow both of us to be a little more productive with our time throughout our week.
Of course, that doesn’t mean that you won’t be able to keep in contact with us as much. If you ever want to know what is going on with us or the church in between the updates just ask! You can always reach us on the phone, by email or text, through our website, and even Facebook. We appreciate so much your continued prayers and support, and as always if there is anything we can partner with you in prayer about please let us know. God bless!
