Greetings from the thawing North,

 This month our contribution is going to be short and (hopefully) sweet. India is just around the corner and time is flying by. All the planning is done, tickets are being purchased, messages fine-tuned and loose ends tied off.

It’s certainly a challenge to get everything done for a trip and work a full time job that includes 3:00am snowplowing. But, the Father keeps giving grace and strength, and somehow it all gets done.

Next week, we’ll be in Galliano, Louisiana for the annual missions conference. What a blast! It’s always fun to connect with other missionaries and catch up with old friends. Of course, the great fishing with Pastor Scott doesn’t hurt, either! This year, Mark will be sharing at the body Scott pastors, Christian Fellowship Church. What an honor and blessing!

Mark gets home just in time to share at Praise Chapel in Juneau. That invitation was a God surprise; He just dropped it in our laps. Thank you, Father!

Thank You’s in a newsletter just can’t express our gratitude to all of you that give of your time and money to help make these trips happen. Your reward in the Kingdom is, and will be, great. We are still about $1700.00 short of the need for this trip, but the Father is providing and will provide.


In closing, we ask you to keep praying that Jesus shows up in power at this conference. He is the only One that can bring the healing and wholeness that the Indian Church needs.

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 ...
