“…let us run with patience the race that is set before us. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith...” Hebrews 12:1b, 2a

Happy greetings to you today. May your day be filled to overflowing with the presence of the Lord.


I am gearing up for a very busy summer this year, and “busy” is good. Here is what is on the agenda.

At my Pastor’s request, I have begun writing a 13 week study titled, “Preparing for the Mission Field,” to be taught in our church as a simple introduction to missions text for anyone desiring to go on any of the many foreign mission outreaches our church is involved in each year, as well as our very active local home missions endeavors. Once it is finished, it will be published so that anyone – pastor/church, missionary, Bible college/institute, or individual – can obtain it for their own use if they so desire.  

Beginning June 23rd, I will be leading a nine week Women’s Bible Study every Tuesday evening in my home church.

The weekend of June 13-14, Jennifer and I will be working on what we hope will be our last editing session of our Introduction to the Bible text book before sending it to a publishing company for its final editing and printing. This will be a red letter day for us when this is accomplished.
Sprinkled among these endeavors will be three stateside trips, all of which are ministry related.
July 10-12, Leadership Training International Board of Directors Meeting, Baton Rouge, Louisiana;
July 16-20, Family Reunion Missions Convention, Family Worship Center, Leesville, Louisiana;
August 4-7, Worldwide Missionary Evangelism Global Roundtable Connection, Louisville, Kentucky.

All of these meetings are going to be filled with blessings from the Lord, and I eagerly look forward to them.

So…I have a race to run this summer, and as I keep my eyes on the Lord, he will help me reach the finish line right on time.

I would appreciate your prayers for me during these coming months.

TO OUR PARTNERS - You are responsible for helping make all the activities of LTI possible. None of these endeavors lasts just for a few minutes or hours and is then ended. Each one has a lasting – eternal – value because the word of God is being sent out in various ways to many different places, and it will bring forth a rich harvest for the glory of God (Isaiah 55:11).
Thank you for your faithfulness to the support of this ministry. Only eternity will tell the result of your labors with us. We bless you, and we love you.

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
