“But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.” I Corinthians 15:20
Praise God for His plan of salvation for all mankind.
Praise God that Jesus willingly became the final sacrifice for sin.

Praise God that Jesus victoriously rose from the grave, triumphant over death.

We who have believed in Him are so blessed.

Today, we walk in victory because Jesus purchased victory for us.

Today, we have the hope and promise of eternal life because of His victorious work on our behalf.

Today, we look forward to the time when we will rise from this earth to meet Him in the air and live with Him forever. And, as the song goes, “What a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see.” Wonderful day, indeed.

Thank you, Lord, for your great love for us.

Thank you, Lord, for the Easter season that causes us to reflect, one more time, on all you have done for us.

Today, we also carry on with the work He has given us to do until That Day arrives. We have heard His message. We have believed. But multitudes more have not yet heard. So we go, and we tell, and we help strengthen the laborers in those other fields to carry on faithfully with the work God has given them to do.

India
Is still a difficult field. But, the Lord is still working in that field, and the church, though small in comparison to the total population, continues to increase and remain faithful to Him.

Mark and the team leave on April 24th for this year’s Pastors and Ministers Conference. Please keep them and all the attendees in your prayers. We are asking God for a tremendous outpouring of His Spirit in these meetings.

We are praising God for the provision of funds for this trip, and are believing Him for the remaining balance to come in.

Teaching Materials
We are making good progress on the updating of our Student Manual for our Introduction to the Bible course. By the middle of-May, we will have completed the first phase of this project, and look forward to showing it to you. The next phase of this project is to produce teaching sessions on DVD’s that will accompany the Student Manual, making it a complete teaching package. This course of study is proving to be a real blessing to the Adult Bible Class in my home church, and that makes us very glad. I will be especially glad when we get it into the hands of our national pastors in India, Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda, and anywhere else the Lord gives us opportunity.

Thank you, Partners
God never intended for any one of us to be able to do His work alone. He always intended for us to do it together as a body. Your partnership with us in this ministry is an example of how His plan is fulfilled in the earth today. Thank you for working alongside us through your financial support and through your prayers on our behalf. We love you, we appreciate you, and we thank God for you.

Because there are over 4.4 billion people in the world who still need Jesus, I remain

Yours in missions,

Mary Ann Cassidy

“And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen” Mark 16:20 The first order of the day is to wish you a very Happy and Wonderful New Year as you venture out into the new opportunities that await you. Some folks are wondering if the world will come to an end in 2012, as the Mayan Indians and others have predicted, but our faith is not in these predictions. Our faith is in the words of our Lord Jesus Christ who told us to “occupy ‘til I come” (Luke 19:13), and so we carry on in full assurance that He is with us and will be with us all the way to the end, no matter when “the end” occurs. LTI’S CALENDAR FOR 2012 IS ALREADY FILLING UP Mark leaves for India on February 24th, and we are expecting this to be a most fruitful conference. Please read Mark’s column for all the details. I have planned to be in Nigeria again this year in March. However, the date for the conference is not yet known, a...

Uganda Trip Report

“ And the things that 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 We arrived home on May 30th, safe and sound from a wonderful time of ministry in Uganda. KAMPALA - the capitol of Uganda, and the place where we ministered, is a most beautiful city. Originally positioned on 7 hills, now spilling over onto 10, Kampala is a lush paradise of tropical plants, trees and flowers, and home to some of the most beautiful birds I’ve ever seen. Although its location is just barely north of the Equator, its altitude of 4300 feet above sea level provides a moderate climate year round that is most enjoyable. The southeastern part of the city is on the shores of Lake Victoria, the world’s 3rd largest lake by area, Africa’s largest lake by area, and the largest tropical lake in the world. As a result, the city enjoys the benefits of breezes that blow across the lake into the city. My travels in Africa a...

It's Been a Busy Month...

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.” Ephesians 1:3 G reetings to you today. I thank God for you and trust you are enjoying the richness of His blessings in your life every day. A Very Busy Month The Blog At some point in every day I sit at my computer to write on my blog apassionformissions.org, becoming more and more skilled in doing this project. There are still a few more “construction” things that need to be done before the site is finished. I think everything will be accomplished by the end of this month. I am very happy with it and thank the Lord for this tool that will allow me to cast the net for new generations of full-time missionaries until He comes again. Some of the topics that are, or will be written about are: the vision for the blog, including Casting the Net with details;  The Need, The Call and The Preparation for ministry as a missionary; God’s ...
