Healing 2

 Our last update highlighted Josiah's skin problems and asked for prayer for his healing.  Thank the Lord for answered prayer.  He is well now and traveling with a group representing Ambassador Baptist College.  Each of the family has dealt with a measure of what Josiah had.  None of the symptoms that the rest of us dealt with were as bad as what he had to endure, but we all had something of skin problems to deal with.  Other than Josiah, Sarah has had the worst time of it.  The doctor says that it is a virus, and she is on anti-viral medication to help prevent the spread of the disease.  There are also measures that she is taking to alleviate the awful itching that comes along with it.  This itching has kept her awake many nights.  Please continue to pray for her and the rest of the family as we deal with this illness.

Camp in New Mexico is a highlight for our family.  This year, we had the privilege of serving alongside some great people, most of whom we knew, but one of whom was a bit new to us.  Jack Martinez from Cornerstone Baptist Church of Phoenix, Arizona, proved to be a great asset to camp this year.  Though our numbers were small, we did see professions of faith as well as other decisions for Christ.

For the present, the Crow family is making preparations to go to Italy in the month of July.  We leave Tuesday, July 5, and return in early August.  During our time in Italy, we are scheduled to preach in four churches, vacation Bible school, and a camp meeting.  Please pray that the Lord would use us to be a blessing and help to the churches in Italy.

Before we fly to Italy, we must have a negative COVID test.  Due to our leaving the day after July 4, it might prove difficult to get these tests in a timely manner.  Please pray about this detail.

Around our nation right now, there is anxiety over rising prices.  From the filling station to the grocery store, every American has seen their paycheck not go as far as it once did.  I would urge you to look at the situation, not from a fretting standpoint of wondering how we will survive, but from a standpoint of anticipation at seeing how God will work.  God is using less traditional means to supply our needs.  Is He doing the same with you?  Through whatever means He chooses, we are confident that God will supply, inflation or not.  Thank you for your prayers.
