Greetings from the beautiful, thawed out North!

Wow, time flies! This trip is only 3 weeks away, and it seems like just last week we were still wondering when I (Mark) could go. Now comes “crunch time,” the scramble to get visas, itinerary, etc. done as soon as possible. And now the excitement, the anticipation, of another adventure with Jesus builds. This is when you begin to wonder what the Father is going to do, how is He going to “show up,” what kind of fruit will be born of this? Now is when you put the finishing touches on messages, prayerfully hopeful that what you bring is from the heart of the Father. Expectations are laid on the alter, in exchange for trusting Jesus to do what He wills.

This trip is stirring more hope, more anticipation, more faith than in the past. Part of this may be that I just got back from visiting Bethel Church in Redding, CA. What a blessing to be in that atmosphere! I believe that I’ll be taking to Nigeria some of what God gave me at Bethel.

ABOUT THE TRIP
Hassan has arranged my ministry time and it sounds wonderfully full. Multiple opportunities to minister, most in villages near Jos. I’ll be spending some time at the YWAM base and the Anglican Bible college as well.

PRAYER REQUESTS
1) Visa. They’ve changed the process again. Please pray that I get my visa with time to spare and with a minimum of hassle.

2) Effective ministry. That I hear and communicate the Father’s heart.

3) Grace. To complete His will.
                                                                                    
Many thanks and many blessings for all you’ve done in partnering with us over the years.

Yours for the Kingdom,


Mark and Julie Dyar

Greetings from the Balmy North, Well, relatively balmy. We’re still in the mid 30’s, downright tropical for mid-December here. But this too, shall pass and soon enough we’ll be buried under several feet of snow and the rise of the mercury will stop in the single digits. Wow! What a trip! Or is that trips? Anyway, what a wonderful time in the Lord and with His family. ROMANIA The main goal for the Romanian leg of the trip was to meet with Pastor Adi and move ahead on the School of Ministry; and that is exactly what happened. A prime example of a divine appointment. We were in complete agreement about the form the school should take, where it should start, goals and timing. So, as soon as the holiday season is past, Mark will start working on the curriculum for the school. We hope to see the first students attending classes in the fall of 2015! Once again, the Father has shown us that He has set the table for us in Romania. While getting the curriculum ready by the fall will be a ch

“And the things thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.” 2 Timothy 2:2 2016! If the speed with which this year has started is any indicator of what the rest of this year will be.....I may have to stop now and again to catch my breath. That thought excites me, and I hope that is exactly how it will be. My highest hope for you and me is that the perfect will of God will be accomplished in each of our lives so that multitudes will come to know Jesus our Savior, that He may be gloried and that we may be edified more and more each day.  In some ways, I am still in Thanksgiving mode. Actually, I am always in thanksgiving mode, but the news I am sharing with you now is a carryover from a $1200 project I presented to you in our October 2015 newsletter to purchase a new desktop computer for the work in India. The desktop they were using is old and cannot support programs like Corel Draw and others

Greetings from the Great Land, Just a bit of trivia. Alaska is the English version of Alyeska, which is Aleut for the Great Land. And it truly is a great land. Pastor Mathew Ondicho, Nairobi, Kenya This month we want to introduce you to a friend of Mark’s. His name is Mathew Ondicho and he’s a pastor and evangelist in Kenya. Mathew is one of 7 children, born into a poor, rural family. Mathew was saved at 5, and by the time he was 7 he was preaching in public. He was so small he had to stand on a table so the congregation could see him. In 2007, God called him into the slums of Nairobi, some 250 miles from his home. Since then, he has planted several churches, conducted numerous crusades and established a feeding program for orphans and widows. Pastor Mathew and his wife, Vane, work side by side to advance the Kingdom, taking ground back from the enemy. Pastor Mathew with a group of the orphaned children whom he helps feed Now, Pastor Mathew serves a church of 120 folks
