Changes

 The last month saw us change ends of the country from the deserts of Arizona all the way to east coast.  On the way, we picked up a couple of weeks in our home area of West Tennessee/North Mississippi.  The Lord kept us safe the entire way.

One of the dangers facing us early on was dangerous winds as we crossed Texas.  As we drove across the Permian Basin (Midland/Odessa area), we saw trucks and trailers that had overturned in the cross winds.  One man and his travel trailer were completely upside down on the leeward side of the Interstate.  Another tow truck had capsized and was on its side, along with the broken down Chevy he was endeavoring to haul.  We were very grateful to make it back without incident, although we decided to drive much slower than we might otherwise have done.  Praise the Lord for safety over thousands of miles.

One of the highlights every year for our family is going to minister in New York City.  With all of the problems that the city presents, there are still a lot of good people there.  It was a blessing to see them again and to be able to minister there.  Praise the Lord that in the midst of all of the COVID-19 madness, there are still churches preaching the Gospel.  The city itself seemed like a ghost town compared to normal, evidently due to the fact that so many are telecommuting to work these days.  It was somewhat eerie to see the buildings with almost no one coming or going in the vicinity.

We also got the opportunity to ministry just across the river from the nation's capital in Alexandria, Virginia.  Pastor Philip Bishop has been faithfully serving there for many years and has been a dear friend for a long time.

After two more stops in Virginia, we head for the Midwest for a couple of months.  Please pray that God will continue to open doors.

Some of you reading this receive this update automatically in your inbox as I publish it on my blog.  The host has informed me that this service will be discontinued in the coming months.  What I need is for everyone who would like to continue to receive this message as an email to send me a personal email message confirming that you would like to continue to receive it.  You can email us by going to our website paulcrow.org and finding the contact page there.  I will take the addresses of those who contact me and form another list so that you will not miss any news from our ministry.

Thanks so much for praying.  Please pray that God will open hearts to the Gospel.
