Dear Pastors, Supporting Partners, and Praying Friends, Thank you for your faithful prayer and financial support! You all are such a blessing and inspiration! We love you in the Lord and are praying for you as well. We are blessed, encouraged, and thankful to see how the Lord is blessing deputation! The Lord has blessed us with well over 18,000 miles this year! The Lord is so good! The Lord has in the last 2 months allowed us to be in meetings in AR, NC, SC, WV, and LA. We were blessed to be in some tremendous churches and were able to meet wonderful people. We are so blessed to be a part of God’s Family! We are excited about the schedule the Lord is arranging in the future. We are so much looking forward to meeting new pastors and churches. I would like to thank the Emmanuel Baptist Church in Swansboro, NC and Pastor Steve Wakefield, the Heritage Baptist Church in Culpeper, VA and Pastor Bruce Fincham, the Liberty Baptist Church in Snow Hill, NC and Pastor Rusty Conyers, the Ozark Baptist Church in Harrison, AR and Pastor Jamie James, the Rosman Baptist Tabernacle in Rosman, NC and Pastor Tommy Morrow, the Trinity Baptist Church in Pace, FL and Pastor Paul Woody, the Turkey Ridge Baptist Church in Oceana, WV and Pastor Johnny Jones, the Victory Baptist Church in Hope, AR and Pastor Toby Bane, and the Mason & Sons Tire & Automotive in Greenville, SC. This puts us at 75%! Please help us pray about an upcoming trip to Alaska. We have been invited to several meetings in October within the wonderful state in which the Lord has called us to. Please pray for souls and safety. We are asking the Lord also for wisdom and discernment in relocation. Please help us pray about this. We are asking the Lord to let us finish deputation and relocate by or before Spring 2016. We will also be looking into changing our residency in October as well. Please be praying about a place with reasonable rates. It is so exciting to see the Lord working! In the last 2 months we met a lady with a brother that lived in Cordova. His father-in-law still lives in Cordova. They are going to tell him to watch for our arrival! We were also in a meeting in NC where we met a pastor who was traveling in CA. Take a guess of what he saw. A Cordova, Alaska bumper sticker! This was just 2 weeks prior to our meeting with this church! Some people may say that’s a coincidence. I believe it to be God’s providence! Thank you for your prayer, faithful support, and consideration. May the Lord bless you!In His Service, The Leslie Bourdess Family

Prayer & Praise 1. Pray for souls to be saved! 2. Pray for continued safety! 3. Pray for finances for our trip to Alaska in October. 4. Pray for other churches to be burdened for the eternal souls of Cordova, Alaska! 5. Please pray for all of the Bourdess Family. We said goodbye to my precious grandmother. She was a precious lady that will be greatly missed by all who knew her. She lived to be 100 years old. 6. Praise the Lord for a wonderful heritage and precious memories! 7. Praise the Lord for new friendships made!
