The trial of former pastor Jonathan Elwing on charges related to child sexual abuse concluded with guilty verdicts on all counts. We pray for the continued healing of those directly and indirectly involved in this case, especially the victim and the victim's family. The details presented in court are horrific, and cry out for justice. As the window for appeal is still open, we will not make further comments regarding the verdict. We thank those involved in the legal process, especially law enforcement, court officials, witnesses, and jury members.
