Wonderful Sound Tech's Got to Love them

When I play in church I love it, there is no better time to play guitar or in my case guitar/sax, I feel like I am in my zone but my church has one problem, not only does most of my congregation not like the prasie team but we have some seriously inexpirienced people who work on the sound system, most weeks the praise leader can't even hear the guitar or bass or even her one piano but she goes upstairs and changes the setting so that she can hear what she wants and what the singers need to hear,then one of our amazing sound guys goes up and changes it all around and it sounds like junk, the singers on the praise team can't hear the band so we have a tendency to not be as together as I would like, we still have our churches original main speaker which constantly is cutting out but they refuse to replace it because of our churches funds, what should I do? We can't afford to pay someone who knows what they are doing to run the system.

P.S. I don't know anything about the sound system and I play plugged straight into the system so I don't have to much contol over my own guitar I am told turn it all the way up and the sound guy will change it from there, which usually means he will turn it almost completely off. I don't play lead becasue I don't know how, I just play rhythm, I am self taught but have been given some oppurtunities to play lead thats when I switch to the sax. I know I skipped around alot in this post so I hope someone can follow what I have said and help.
