“…we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.” Romans 8:37





Greetings in the blessed name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am rejoicing in His goodness to all of us who have put our faith in His sacrificial death and resurrection which give us greater-than-normal hope for this life and provide for us a sure hope of our eternal future with Him in glory.
I am happy to report that my recent travels have truly been blessed by the Lord.

My first trip out was to chair LTI’s Annual Board of Directors Meeting. The Lord met with us in a greater way than He usually does. There was a heightened awareness of His presence to assist us in our deliberations; to which all of us attested. In fact, it was a lot like those wonderful church services where no one wants to go home - you just want to stay and bask in His presence. I am so happy that He is involved with us in everything we do for His glory – even business meetings.

My second trip out was to attend the Leesville Worship Center’s Annual Family Reunion in
Leesville, Louisiana, where Mike and Terina Jackson are Pastors. It is called “Family Reunion” because all of the missionaries they support are invited to attend this wonderful convention so that they can see our faces, hear our reports, love on us and bless us in every way possible, including raising funds for the next year. They love us, and we love them. Thank you, Family Worship Center for all you do for the Kingdom of God.

As you read this newsletter, I will be doing one of two things: 1)
ministering to the ladies of Grace Family Church in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where Bill Parsons is Pastor, or 2) attending the Worldwide Missionary Evangelism Fellowship Global Roundtable Connection in Louisville, Kentucky. I look forward to both of these meetings in anticipation of what God will accomplish.

The 9-week Ladies Bible Study in my home church that I have been assisting with is coming to a close, and it has been a good time for all. The study has looked at I and II Thessalonians: very timely books for the days in which we live.

The 13-week course titled “Preparing for the Mission Field” that I will be teaching in my home church is set to begin on September 9, 2015. Preparations are near completion, and I am eager to begin.

All of us are aware that the enemies of God are stirring up as much trouble as they can in this world, but be of good cheer. God is still on the throne and very busy moving throughout all the earth to bring in a great harvest of souls to His kingdom. Remember that Jesus said, “In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 (KJV)

To Our Partners...
As always, I cannot leave you without telling you, once again, how important you are to me and to this ministry. Perhaps I will tell you one day how God called me when I was only 11 years old. Until then, just know that your faithful partnership throughout all the years provides the prayer and financial support that is needed to carry on month-to-month. I want you to know that I appreciate you and I love you. May the grace and peace of God be your portion each and every day, along with His abundant provision for everything you need.

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
