Please join us in fasting at least one meal every
day for the needs of our church, our district, our
denomination, and the missionaries and
evangelists that are connected with our church.
Both the Valley and Mountain churches are
fasting and praying during this time and we have
already seen God move mightily in answering
prayer. Ask an usher or staff member for a prayer
request list. Don’t miss out on the blessings of
God!
For the next 30 days read 1 chapter of John, 1
chapter of Proverbs and 5 chapters of Psalms
everyday
Cry out to God with your prayer needs.
Call in prayer requests daily at 877-0240
Chapel open for prayer daily 6am-8:30pm
Then if my people who are called by my name
will humble themselves and pray and seek my
face and turn from their wicked ways, I will
hear from heaven and will forgive their sins
and heal their land

July & August 2011
We are planning on handing out 1000 backpacks with
school supplies this year at our Back-2-School Bash to K-
5th graders (elementary age). There are several other basic
school supplies that we will need in order to complete the
preparations for this event.
Crayons Pencils Glue Sticks Lined Paper
Spiral Notebooks Erasers Ruler Scissors
Also, due to limited financial resources, we will not be
sending out a mailer or doing a TV commercial for this
event. Instead, we have spent about $400 on quality fliers
to hand out personally, both in the neighborhood and to
friends. This is a savings of nearly $4000 compared to
what we have spent in the past on advertising for this
event. We will spend about $2000 on backpacks for this
event, which is also less than past years. We need your
help! please put a little extra into the offering plate this
week and mark it "back to school bash" in order to
help us pay for this event where thousands of people
will hear the message of Christ. The first event will be
Saturday August 13th at 3:00pm at the Grace Restoration
Center on Coors and Gunclub 4351 Coors SW, 87105 and
Sunday August 14th at 6:00pm at the Valley church. If
you’d like to donate any items just bring them to church
office or sanctuary.

Grace Restoration Center A Church of the Nazarene
Celebrate Recovery group is about 10 who have been meeting for the
last 7 weeks. Lives are being changed. Two who were living together
have realized that they need to follow Jesus and have given their
lives to him, so now we are planning a wedding. People are being set
free from addictions. Burdens are being lifted as they begin to put
their hope and confidence in the only true and living God, Jesus Christ. Free Friday has brought in about 6 families in the last two or three
weeks. Troy and I get to meet and talk with them and hear their
hearts. We pray with them and direct them to other church services
and helps like food bank and Caravans.
Food bank Bible Study at Grace Restoration Center gives us a chance
to get into the lives of people in such a way that encourages them and
lifts them up during these tough economic times. Unlike government
help programs, GRC is intentional in meeting families' physical
needs and at the same time pointing discouraged families toward the
one true and faithful source of Hope, Jesus Christ.
Our first Sunday morning service will be August 14, 2011.
Greetings Church,
I want to testify that I am praying more than I ever have before and
fasting at least one meal a day going into week three of our
corporate time of a forty day period of fasting and prayer. I am
personally praying on an average of over five hours a day and
reading the Word along with other spiritual developing books more
than ever in my life. I am excited to report that I am living in the
presence of God. I am seeing the amazing signs and wonders
follow the lives of the believers at Sandia during this time of
corporate fast and prayer. I have seen people walking around the
church and the campus both confessing sins and asking forgiveness
from each other and God. I have seen people delivered from
lifelong drug addiction and have witnessed relationships being
reconciled. God is moving in a mighty way as God’s people are
humbling themselves and praying. Our worship center is open
every day from 6 am to 8:30 pm for corporate prayer where the
church is coming together learning how to pray in agreement with
our corporate church needs. Praying and fasting together is our
only hope as God’s people to experience His perfect will for our
lives. Along with praying and fasting together, we are also doing
corporate devotions together as we are reading one chapter of the
gospel of John, one Proverb, and five Psalms each day. As we
come together as a church all seeking the same goal of seeking
God’s face Sandia will continue to be effective for God’s kingdom.

Testimonies
Augustine When I was a kid I remember my mom was real religious and I would go to church. I wanted what she wanted
but people always beat me down. I prayed and it never worked so I lost my faith in God. I believed in Him but
didn’t pray. I stopped caring about everything, got involved in gangs, and shootings I didn’t care if I died then,
I ended up in jail for a while when I was 15. I lost friends and family. Then I realized I wanted something
better and I wanted to change. I had to build up the strength to trust in God again. Then I knew I couldn’t do it
all by myself and I knew I needed to give it all to Him. And I did. I got my family back and I am learning
more. I stopped doing all the things I was doing. Even though I am still going through a rough time its ok
because I gave it to the Lord. The big praise is that I am in more contact with my daughter and now I feel that
I can be a good father. I know if it wasn’t in His plans I wouldn’t be here today.
Teens camp was a blast. 11 teens gave their lives to Christ.
Crossroads youth group from Fort Worth Texas will be here
from July 22- 30 doing a missions trip for our church.
Friday Night Rave is a service for the teens of Albuquerque
in the South Valley community. We have worship and a
message directed toward the youth. We have a time of fun
and games directly after service.
In August we will be going to Cliff’s Amusement Park for
our Annual Freedom fest. This is a time where well known
Christian bands come together and celebrate Jesus with their
music and celebrate with the Teens of Albuquerque.
Praise God we took 17
kids to camp. God moved
in a special way. Many
have rededicated there
lives to the Lord. It was great to see all of our campers
getting help from the Lord. Jayla gave her life to the
Lord at camp. This past week two of our campers
Lamya and Quamae came to my office to talk about
baptism and also accepted the Lord. We look forward to
baptizing them on the 31st.
We are having fun in Kids’ Zone learning about Joshua
and living to the extreme for God. We are learning new
songs and starting a Kids’ Zone Praise Team. See you
in Kids’ Zone.
It is almost time for school to start.
Watch for upcoming activities
and clubs happening on our valley
campus from 2:30-5:30 Monday
through Friday. You can sign up
with Pastor DeAnn for these events
Adult and teen volunteers are needed for afternoon
activities and clubs. See Pastor DeAnn for information.

Grace Thrift Store
Wow God had an awesome plan for the thrift store
here in the South Valley! We have had 8 people
make a commitment to Christ God is using us as a
hub for the leaders of the south valley to come and
pray, dream and support one another in our mission
to save the South Valley! We have partnered up
with Pastor Boggs of the Rio Grande Baptist
Church, Pastor Morgan of Valley Christian
Church, and a Pastor from a outreach Center in
Juarez, Mexico. We also became a resource to
Pastor Boggs and his church’s mission trip with
supplies and getting them in contact with Love
I.N.C as well. Every Day we have awesome
workers from the youth @ the Albuquerque
Reintegration Center and through them being there
we have had a awesome breakthrough in the Life
of Augustine and his cousin Miguel whom both
gave their lives to Christ.
We have had shoppers come into help, the South
Valley community has been a huge support with
dropping off donations and helping us with daily
sorting and other daily needs. We are uniting the
plaza that we are in and being a light to the
business owners. Fernando Ortega was lead to
Christ by Pastor Fred at his Zumba Shop! The
daily traffic is steadily increasing due to low
prices, great merchandise, Godly atmosphere and a
loving and caring place!
