Merry Christmas from the Dyars

Greetings from Beautiful Redding...

Wow, hard to believe the holidays are upon us already. We trust you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We sure did. We had a great time with family and friends, folks we haven’t celerated the holiday with for a long time. Now it’s time to get ready for Christmas. This will be a special one for us, we’ll have all 3 girls home for the first time in 4 years. Thank you, Jesus! Thank you, Father!

KENYA
The drought in Nakuru is finally over! It’s been a hard pull for Pastor Mathew and the orphans. But the crisis has passed and drinking water is now available close to home. Mathew recently reported that revival is still going on in his church and the impoverished neighborhood where he is located. He points to Mark’s time there as the beginning! That is truly an answer to prayer! And that shapes the goals of the March trip. We now have 3 specific goals:

1. Fuel the revival fire by revealing more of the Fathers heart, His character and the identity that He has given us.

2. Lay the groundwork for a School of Ministry. This is absolutely needed to assure that revival becomes a lifestyle, not just a great event that occurred in the past.

3. Begin to disciple the nation by winning more souls to the Kingdom and see them truly discipled.
This trip is happening March 17-29, 2016. Mark would love to have someone join him on this trip. The cost will be $3800.00. We’ll be in country for about 10 days and every day will be filled with ministry. Please, join us in asking for the right person to go with Mark. And you might ask if you are that person!



ROMANIA
We’re still going in June. We anticipate a very fruitful trip. In addition to the ministry time in Dallas (we talked about this in our last letter) Mark will be delivering the completed curriculum to Pastor Adi. If you have construction and/or ministry skills to offer, this is a great opportunity to use your talents to bless the “least and the lost.” The cost will be about $2600.00, depending on ever-changing airfare.

Yours for the Kingdom,

Mark and Julie

“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 ...
