The busy fall schedule is on us now. The Lord has opened many doors for us this fall and we are eagerly looking forward to seeing lives changed as a result of the Word of God reaching them.
With respect to our family, we endured a period of time in July and August during which we had to be out of our trailer to have some warranty work done as well as some body work due to two blown tires. We were in a prophet's chamber graciously provided to us by the Cloverleaf Baptist Church of Mobile, AL. We are grateful that we are back in the trailer now and everything is working well.
There is an addition to our website that might be easy to miss at first glance. We now have not only 2016's itinerary but also 2017's available to view. Of course, the following year is not as full as this year's, but it is available as it stands so that those interested can plan. For those pastors who are trying to plan their calendars for the next year, we hope to be able to aid in this planning.
School is progressing about a month ahead of normal schedule so that we can be all done by the time we head to Guatemala in late November. The Lord is bringing in funds on a weekly basis for our trip to Central America. Our passports are bought, the tickets are purchased, and we are looking forward to our time. Sarah has turned the inside of the trailer into a large craft area, making and selling all kinds of homemade items. See her Facebook page or follow her on Instagram @rvmamacrow for pictures of her latest. For my part, I don't know if I actually want you to visit those pages or not. The more orders she receives, the longer I have to trip over the sewing machine and iron cords on a regular basis. Nevertheless the proceeds are helping us tremendously along with the items we sell on our table--CD's, books, and so forth.
We are most grateful for the souls that have been saved recently. A man named Hollis was the latest to trust Christ. He came to Christ last Sunday morning. He was born in Trinidad but brought up in New York City where he joined a gang after he was orphaned. The evidence of God's conviction over sin was evident Sunday morning. He told the pastor at the front of the auditorium, "I'm lost! I need to be saved." If you like, you can find a picture of Hollis as well as others who have been saved in our meetings on my Instagram account @crowing617.
Thank you all for all your prayers for us. It is wonderful to see the Lord working on a regular basis, and we rejoice to be in His service.
