CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS IN HONDURAS
UPDATE ON POLITICAL / CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS
Wednesday night President Zelaya announced that he was firing the General, head of the joint chiefs of staff of the military. The President stated that he fired him because of disobedience to a direct order to distribute the materials for the vote to take place Sunday June 28th. The General said that he would not obey that order because the courts and Attorney General stated that this vote was illegal In protest of that move and in solidarity with the General (he is from our city) the heads of the Navy, Army, and Air Force and the Secretary of Defense resigned. Thursday, the Supreme Court put out a statement that the firing of the General was illegal because it was not done for the correct reasons and that no government employee civil or military is required to obey an order that is illegal. Friday, the court ordered the President to cancel the vote on Sunday because it was illegal. Tensions and nervousness has been increasing. A warrant for the arrest of the President was issued for him not obeying the court order. He was arrested early this a.m. and taken to Costa Rica. The Congress has read his letter of resignation and impeached him, unaminously. The new president will be sworn in this afternoon. There are some small street protests, but they may grow. Please continue to pray. IT WAS NOT A MILITARY COUP. All done according to the law and Constitution. Yesterday the Communist Presidents of Nicaragua and Venezuela threatened to invade Honduras if anything happened to Zelaya. Please contact your Congressmen to support new government. Obama and Clinton have said that they are supporting the impeached Zelaya.
PART 1
Please pray for Honduras. I will sum things up in 4 words, 2 names:
Hugo Chavez – Fidel Castro.
Now the details:
The Constitution of Honduras does not allow a president to be reelected and there are certain articles of the Constitution that are un-amendable.
The article of no reelection is one and it also prohibits the convoking of another Constitutional Assembly to make another constitution.
Since the political parties had their primaries last November, the actual president has been promoting a vote to decide on whether to convoke a new Constitutional Assembly on a separate ballot in the general elections this coming November. The Congress is against it and the Court system is against it stating it is unconstitutional and illegal. He has ordered the military to start distributing the materials to the polls. The military has said it will defend the Constitution “at all cost”, which would mean they are going to disobey his orders and not allow the vote to take place. The vote or survey on whether to convoke the new Constitutional Assembly is scheduled for this Sunday. The possibilities are very high that there will be a military coup to take him out of office and stop the vote on whether or not to have the vote for a Constitutional Assembly in November or he may try to do a self-coup to keep himself in office, disband the Congress and convoke a Constitutional Assembly. Whatever happens, there could be violence. The president is trying to follow what Chavez has done in Venezuela. The people of Honduras have had several marches and protests against it. But he is stubborn and set on forward with it. Nerves are on edge, it is very tense here and lots of rumors are going around.

GLORIOUS BAPTISMS
Praise the Lord I was privileged to baptize five in May, two adults and three teens. We had been praying for one since 1997! She comes from a strong Catholic family in a strong Catholic city who opposed her baptism. But, yesterday she was baptized with 2 of her children. One of the teens has wanted to be baptized for a long time, but her parents had not given her permission. We sang VICTORY IN JESUS as Satan was defeated in their obedience to the Lord in baptism. Thank you so much for your prayers and financial support that with God’s grace have enabled us to witness first hand these VICTORIES IN JESUS!!
MEN’S CONFERENCE
We held our first Men’s Conference in May. I was not sure what to expect, but we praise the Lord for His hand moving among us, again! We had 20 men attend from several different churches of different areas of the country. My Dad, Rev. Harold Priday did an excellent job teaching six classes Thursday and Friday nights andSaturday afternoon along the theme of MEN OF VALOR. He taught about the moral and spiritual battles men face. Each man received his own booklet. Included in the group were five pastors! We are excited to think about the reach that these classes could have around the country of Honduras.
