Dear Pastor & Friends,
Hello from the Quintana Family. As you already know we have
been on furlough to raise new support. It has been a very busy
time for us & traveling many miles. Since our last news letter,
we have had a few more churches to take us on for support. We are
very thankful for these new supporters. We have been in many new
churches and it is always blessing to be around God's people. We
have attended some wonderful services and it has been a great encouragement
to my heart, as well to my family. In the month of January we had
the privilege to be in a few churches, and what a blessing it was
to see many faces we had went to grade school & high school
with. What a blessing to see these men/women serving the Lord.
This was a added blessing for me and Sandy.
The end of January (Sandy & Michelle) left to return to
Arizona. After much prayer, I though it would be best for them
to return, to be in the church to help & encourage the people.
This was a first time for Sandy to drive across the United States
by herself. Her & Michelle got snow/ice bound in Oklahoma for
a day & half. They made the rest of the way in with snow flurries
and some snow packed interstates in New Mexico. The Lord watched
over them and protected them . They arrived back in Arizona on
Feb 3.
I will be leaving on March 5th to drive home to Arizona, I would
appreciate your prayers for me as I travel. One of the men in the
church will be flying in the morn of the 5th to ride back with
me. I will be finishing up some meetings this week & making
plans for the trip home. Your prayers are very much appreciated.
Church News
The church is doing good. There have been some
set backs, we lost a family that had been with us for several years.
They were faithful & a help to the church in many area’s.
So this has been a discouragement to the people. But everyone has
remained faithful. Several services were canceled due to snow/ice
in Jan & Feb. The White Mountains have seen some good snow fall
for this year. We are thankful for the moisture. Continue to pray
for the church and the people. Pray for the lost, that they may be
saved. So many have a form of religion but do not know the Lord in
their hearts.
Thanks
We do want to thank Bro. Jason Dowell & his family
for coming to Arizona to fill in for us while we were away. Bro.
Jason done a fine job in preaching. Please be praying for Bro. Jason
he will be also leaving out in a few days after I arrive, to go home
to NC.
Prayer
Would ask you to continue to pray for the Quintana Family.
Also pray we will pick up some more support from the new churches
we went to while on furlough. We do appreciate your faithfulness
in supporting the ministry in Arizona and for you prayers. I appreciate
the Birthday cards received for my (Luther) birthday. Thanks for
all your kindness. May the Lord bless each of you.
Yours in Christ,
The Quintana Family
Luther, Sandy, Nathanael, Michelle
