David and Sarah Montgomery have been married 40 years. They made their home in Mound City, Missouri, 32 years ago and have raised four boys who are now grown with families of their own. They have been blessed with 14 grandchildren and now spend their evenings going to recitals and ballgames. They attend their son’s church, Current Church, in St. Joseph.

They love the Lord and are faithful to prayer. They gave Pastor Kailea Nauman her first opportunity to give her testimony in Mound City publicly at an event they hosted at the local churches and the Mound City Theatre that was called Encounter. We will be so blessed to hear what the Lord will bring through them.

She has a Certificate in Worship Ministry from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and has had the opportunity to lead worship in jails, prisons, conferences, church services, revivals and more. Christy began writing music in 2016 using the Word of God. Many of her own songs have come from personal experiences and lessons the Lord has taught her, this coupled with scripture has created songs that have often spoken into the lives of listeners. Christy’s desire is to point others to the Gospel of Jesus and exalt Him in song. She is eager to share how Jesus has walked with her through every trial and circumstance and how He will do the same for others. Christy and her husband, James attend The Church of Living Water in Central Missouri. Christy and James have been married since June 1993 and have two grown sons and two granddaughters. These days you can find Christy leading worship on Wednesday nights “Freedom Night” at The Church of Living Water, at various other events and services and serving on the worship team at her church.
