Greetings in the name
of Christ, and hello from the White Mountains of Arizona. What a
joy to write again regarding the ministries here in Arizona. The
weather has been very unusual, cool and then hot, we have been breaking
record temps here. We finally received a thunderstorm this week.
We are waiting for the monsoon’s to come and bring us much
needed moisture.
The past few weeks have been very busy for us. The end of June
we had Vacation Bible School. The Old Suwannee Baptist Church of
Georgia sent out their youth group to conduct the Vacation Bible
School. This group of young people and four adults done a wonderful
job. We had around 28 kids coming , as well as some of their parents
came and stayed. Everyone enjoyed the VBS thoroughly. Many doors
were open through the VBS. We have visited many of the homes of
the children that came, please pray they will come back to church.
Two teen boys have been attending church now as a result of the
VBS. We are praising the Lord for what has been done. My hearts
desire is to see the church grow for the glory of God, that Christ
might be magnified. Satan has destroyed many people lives. We want
them to know that Jesus loves them and that we care for them. As
Christians we are to live a Godly life in front of them, they need
to see Christ in us. Thank God for salvation and the privilege to
serve him.
We wanted to give you an update on Aimee Hernandez, she is the
lady whom had cancer in her leg, she just recently had another surgery
for a total knee replacement. She is back in physical therapy .
The Dr. says she is doing good. Continue to pray for her. We would
ask you to continue to pray for Bill Hall, he is having a total
hip replacement this week, pray that he has a good recovery with
no complications.
Our young teens went to camp in Silver City, NM for a week. They
had a wonderful time, and many decisions were made for Christ. One
of our teens came to me after the camp, and ask me to pray for her,
that she had not shown respect toward me (her Pastor), as she should
have and ask for my forgiveness. Praise the Lord for this. God is
working in their hearts. I have been doing a serious of messages
on the family. I believe the Lord is working on a lot of people.
I have seen a change in the way people are conducting their lives.
My prayer is that they can see the joy of having a Godly Christian
Family, that serves the Lord together.
Sandy and the kids are doing fine. They are enjoying their time
out of school. Home school will start back end of August. Sandy
is busy with the garden and ready to start canning now. The Elk
are becoming a problem here with the garden, so far we have been
able to keep them out.
Thank you for all your prayerful and financial support as your
gospel voice here in the White Mountains of Arizona. Because of
you we can labor to bring souls to Christ and exalt Christians to
live closer to Him. May the Lord Bless each of you. Continue to
pray for the Quintana Family . Special thanks for the birthday cards
for Sandy, and for our Anniversary.
Yours in Christ,
The Quintana Family
Luther, Sandy, Nathanael, Michelle
