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

“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...

“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 ...
