Happy Holidays from Redding!

We hope you are having a great holiday season; we certainly are with all three girls home for the first time in three years. It’s going to be a lot of fun spending part of the holidays with Mark’s family and even more fun watching the girls interact as full-fledged adults.

Kenya
Plans for the Kenya trip are moving forward.  Mark will be leaving March 17th for about ten days of ministry time in Kenya. Pastor Matthew has recently planted a church in a village near Nakuru and we’re adding some time at that church to our itinerary. This trip promises to be particularly fruitful with a lot of time devoted to evangelism and discipleship. There are at least three churches on the schedule as well as street evangelism in Nakuru.  lease pray that the heart of the Father will be revealed in more depth to the Kenyan people, that the revival that He has started will continue and intensify, and that plans for a school of ministry in Nakuru can be brought to light.

This trip is fast approaching and we still need the funds for this trip. And Mark would still like someone to join him on this trip.

Cost for this trip including air fare, in country housing, food, and transportation is $3800. We want to thank you in advance for anything you can do to help with this need.

Romania
Work on the School of Ministry curriculum continues although slowly during the holidays. The trip in June is starting to take shape and we hope to see a lot accomplished.  We’d like to see at least three homes built, do some evangelism and discipleship in Dallas, and we hope to do ministry in several churches. We would ask you to pray that God would put together the right team, people that have both skill with their hands and a calling to minister to His children.

If you want to come on this trip the cost is about $2600 depending on the cost of air fare.  

Thank you again for all your prayers and your generosity.  We could not do this without you.

Yours for the Kingdom,

Mark and Julie

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
