“…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

“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 ...
