Greetings from the “It can’t make up its mind” North,

 Snow, rain, rain, snow, sleet, a little blue. Repeat. Again and again and again. That’s our beloved Southeast Alaska weather. Normally this type of schizophrenic activity is reserved for spring. Wait, maybe that’s a good thing!

INDIA 2013 MISSION
Right now it’s all about Pune, India. The team is set: Mark, Greg Stevens (Pastor from Durbin, South Africa), and Norbert Rodriguez, (Pastor from Michigan). Wow, God put together quite a team for this trip.  The level of expectation is off the charts. This should be a dynamic, powerful conference.

The focus of this conference will again be revival and His presence.  Mark will be teaching “A Bride Fit for a King,” encouraging everyone to see the Church as God sees it; overcoming, beautiful, and loved by her Bridegroom. Greg will be sharing “Shifting Culture”. He describes his teaching as “sharing around the topic of God anointing us to do life in a way that gets others to think differently about God, differently about others and even differently about themselves, and in so doing, see a shift in peoples lives and ways of doing things.”
Now on to the nuts and bolts.  The cost of this trip is $5000.  And we need your help. With the economy still lethargic, raising finances can be hard.  Everyone is feeling the pinch, but the work of His kingdom goes on.  Would you prayerfully consider digging a little deeper to help with this trip? Heaven knows that those of you who are reading this are an incredibly generous people. To ask for you to give more is hard, but we know His rewards will always be greater than our sacrifice.

BUDGET:                   $5,000.00
Airfare                           $2,500.00
Accommodations
& ground transportation   $1,300.00
Conference expenses           $1,200.00


Thanks for your prayers, your giving, your fellowship.  Be blessed!
Yours for the Kingdom,


Mark and Julie

“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...

“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 ...
