Hello Pastors and Fellow Christians,

God has been good to us, and our endeavor to preach His Word. I believe this is a direct result of your prayer and financial support. We greatly appreciate the fact that there are people who are on their knees on our behalf.

Eileen’s expectancy has been good, and now the final days are approaching. She is scheduled to have the baby, via c-section, on 6/29/09. Please pray that the procedure goes well. Because of previous complications from our first child, we are having a c-section for this child. We at first thought we were having a baby girl, but know the doctors are questioning their diagnosis, which means we may be having a little boy. Also, please pray for a quick and healthy recovery.

A report on our ministry: We have been averaging 20 people, and God has been faithful in giving us the blessing of visitors. A majority of our outreach efforts do not have the results we expect, but God has been faithful in bringing in people with which we have had no previous contact. Our ministry now is self supporting, and able to pay its own bills. We have also taken on one missionary for support in the amount of $50/month! Our next goals for the ministry are th following:
Obtain special use permit
Charter
Baptize those who have been saved
Find a better location
Host a tent revival at the end of the summer (all are welcome at own expense)
Hold a youth rally

Please pray that those goals are met in the near future.

A little about what is going on personally: If you may not know, last May 29th,,I had the opportunity to be ordained in the Gospel ministry by my sending church, Valley Bible Baptist Church. It was a blessing to have Brother Matthew Wootan, a personal friend, come and preach my charge. Also, I was able to quit my day job. God has been faithful in allowing me to work at my own pace through my graphic design ministry. It seems like every time the bills come in, God gives me a job, and that helps meet those needs. Also, if any church has needs with tracts or things of that nature, feel free to give me a call, I would be glad to help. I do not charge, but if the church is able to give a live offering, that would be greatly appreciated. I only ask for the cost of printing.

The Montoya family would appreciate your prayers in the following requests:
God’s Power in our family
Attendence of 30 people
Salvation of souls in Taos, NM
Baptism of those saved
God’s Power in the county of Taos
Song Leader and Pianist (I think the people are tired of hearing my voice, as I make a joyful Noise unto the Lord)

Thank You and God Bless,
The Montoya Family
