Jesus said, “ We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work.” John 9:4 ESV

Greetings in the wonderful name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. I trust your hearts are filled with the peace of God that passes all understanding in spite of all the terrible things that are going on in the world today. We should not be surprised by these things. Jesus said they would come. He also told us to lift up our heads when these things happen, because it simply means the completion of our redemption is coming closer and closer to its appointed day. Peter put it this way:

“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade – kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.” 1 Peter 1:3-5 (NIV)
What wonderful assurance we as believers have through Jesus Christ.

BUT.... There is still a very large number of people in this world who have not yet heard the truth of who Jesus is and what He has done for them so that they too can enter into this living hope.

These people need to be given the opportunity to “hear” – not just with their physical ears, but by the opening of their spiritual ears so that they can believe and receive this wonderful new birth and living hope for themselves.

Needless to say, that is why we still go. And will continue to go as long as the Lord directs us to and makes provision for us to follow Him wherever He leads.

I want to encourage you to pray for Mark as he, and hopefully Julie, prepare for the trip to Romania in November, as well as his trip to India in January. We know that the powers of darkness cannot stand against the light of the gospel of Jesus Christ as His name is declared in power and anointing.

YOU ARE INVITED TO HELP SEND MARK AND JULIE
Also, I want to invite you to be a financial partner with us in these two very important missions.
 If you have never given in this manner before, I ask you to prayerfully inquire of the Lord if He would have you participate with us through financial giving.

If you give regularly, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your faithfulness in this manner. However, I would ask you to consider giving an extra amount, if possible, for the expenses of these two trips.

Thank you so much for listening to the voice of the Lord and for responding as He leads you. It is our desire to be faithful stewards of the work He has put into our hands to do. When you participate with us you also become a faithful steward in the fulfillment of His will in the earth.

In the words of a little chorus we used to sing:
“We’ll work ‘til Jesus comes, then we’ll be gathered home.”

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

Yours in missions,


Mary Ann Cassidy

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
