From Mary Ann's Desk....Celebrating 35 Years in Missions

“For of Him, and through Him, and to Him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.” Romans 22:36
YOU ARE INVITED TO 
CELEBRATE WITH US

This month we are placing our THIRTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY marker on our road of ministry outside the United States.

When Bud and I set out on this journey in 1979, we had no idea how many places God would take us to, or
for how long. We were so greatly blessed to walk together for twenty-seven years in the path that God had established for us until He called Bud home. Now I, and my family, are greatly blessed to continue walking in that same path for the glory of God.

By God’s grace we have joyfully worked long-term in the fields of Ghana and Nigeria on the African

Continent, and India in South Asia. For nearly a decade we were in Hungary and Romania in Eastern Europe.

For shorter periods of time, we have ministered in Mexico in North America, Guatemala in Central America, Trinidad/Tobago in the Caribbean, Nepal in South Asia, and Uganda in East Africa.
In the decade of the 90’s God also blessed us with the privilege of placing other Americans as missionaries in the countries of Hungary, Romania, Russia, Turkey, Spain, and Britain. We also served as their stateside office in any capacity they needed us to. Most of them are still active in these and/or other places God has called them to.

There will always be the need for ministries like LTI - those who are called to educate and equip the next generation of church leaders in the emerging countries of the world. That is the foundational vision and calling of LTI and it will remain the central calling and focus of all we do in the name of the Lord.

I am happy to report that LTI continues to move forward and I am believing God for increase. To get more details on this note, be sure to read Mark’s column. He has good news to share with you.
All of this is for the glory of God. He is the reason we said “Yes.” He is the reason we still GO. Jesus told His disciples that He would build His church and the gates of Hell would not be able to prevail against it.

Thank you, Partners, for being part of the number who labor with us for Him. Great will be your reward in Heaven. We love you and thank God for you every day.
Please keep us in your prayers as we continue on this journey.

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 ...
