Dear Prayer Partners:
Wow, Texas is big! Since our last letter, we have been traveling around the great state of Texas. We have been in the panhandle, several churches in west Texas all the way to El Paso, down to Houston, San Antonio, and all the way to the Corpus Christi area! We were also in a conference in Kansas. We praise the Lord for His blessings in these churches and for the privilege of being used by Him. We are grateful to Him for the churches that have become partners with us in the ministry by beginning to support us financially and for churches that have increased our support. What a privilege to be co laborers with you for the souls of Hondurans.
We certainly appreciate all who have sent us birthday cards. All of us have had birthdays the last few weeks. Three of those were celebrated on the road and in mission conferences. My parents just celebrated their 47th wedding anniversary. Thirty-five of those years have been as missionaries! I praise the Lord for a Christian family.
We are very excited that we only have 3 months before we go back to Honduras. We will be leaving the first week of August. The Lord has worked it out that our ocean freight shipping will be given to us by Chiquita Bananas! We just have to pay for the shipping to the port and the customs and other expenses in Honduras. We ask you to please pray about some of the special needs that we have to purchase in May and prepare to ship. Some of them are a freezer, a portable sound system, an air compressor, a desktop computer, an electric piano and a vehicle. We also need to raise funds for our return tickets. If your church could send us a special offering in May or June, it would be a great blessing to us!
Our home church will be having a special service for us before we leave on August 3rd. Maybe your church would like to designate that day as PRIDAYS DAY and have a time of special prayer for us and possibly receive a special offering. When we return, we will be starting a new mission work in a different area of our city and working with the Bible Institute. Please pray that God will call men to preach and serve Him in the churches we start. Also, please pray that He will prepare hearts to receive His Word as we preach the Gospel as Paul requests in Colossians 4:3-4. It is our desire to see more souls saved than ever, see them obey the Lord in baptism, discipled, and repeating the process as they serve Him.
Yours with Hope For Honduras,
THE LESLIE PRIDAY FAMILY
