April 2015 Eric & Christy Duplantis Missionary Candidates to Honduras A momentous occasion In this issue: A momentous occasion Sigua Preparations Prayer Requests We’re very excited to be looking forward to our oldest son Tyler’s upcoming graduation ceremony. We’re so proud of him! He will graduate from high school with at least 16 college credit hours. Looking ahead, he’s decided to spend the next year away from his studies. This will give him some time to work, mature, and see what God has in store for him. Perhaps he’ll even be spending some time on the field with us after we move! Thank you sincerely for all your prayers for him, and please keep ʼem comin’! Needs Sigua Siguatepeque or Sigua, is a town of about 75,000. It’s located halfway between Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula. It’s where we will be attending language school at the Spanish Institute of Honduras. The town is at 3600 feet above sea level. Big change for us bayou folks! Feeling humbled With each monthly report from BMDMI, we are made aware of your giving to the ministry. There are monthly gifts and special gifts, small gifts and large gifts. Gifts from friends and acquaintances, and anonymous gifts. It is so humbling to know how some of you have sacrificed, trusting in the Lord to provide for your own needs. We know that we’re not worthy, but He is worthy! Thank you SO very much! Prayer Requests -For endurance in the fundraising process, that we may rest on the promises of the Lord. -For the leaders of the Honduran government and drug gangs, that they come to know Jesus Christ. -For our BMDMI missionaries in Nepal and the people they minister to. Preparations 48% Ongoing Monthly Support 60% Language School Tuition Fundraising Wow! We are getting closer! If you have pledged to give, now is the time to start. BMDMI has to see the monthly funds coming in steadily before they’ll give us the green light to leave. With our departure getting steadily closer, we’re working on getting our house ready to rent. Changing flooring, making repairs, and putting the pool table up for sale {sound of whimpering coming from Eric in the other room.} Cleaning out lots of junk too! I was able to give away literally half of my closet and hardly missed it. It is convicting to realize we have SO much while others don’t have anywhere near enough. We finally finished our master bath renovation which we started before we got “the call.” On the bright side, we already know how to live with 5 people to one bathroom. Needs We continue to be in need of ministry partners. Our greatest need is for ongoing monthly support. If we could get the following support slots filled, we’d be ready to go! 2 partners at $200 monthly 10 partners at $100 monthly 10 partners at $50 monthly 10 partners at $25 monthly Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest field.” (Matt 9:37-38) Please help make this prayer a reality by partnering with us in this ministry.
