“Now this is the confidence we have before Him – that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us – whatever we ask – we know that we have the requests we have asked from Him. I John 5:14, 15 (TLV)

Warm greetings to you today. 

Only the date on the calendar tells us it is winter time in Florida, because it feels like spring. If things continue as they are right now, we will be seeing the azalea bushes begin to blossom. How is it at your house? Whatever the weather, I hope you are enjoying it.

UPCOMING ELECTION
The political scene in America is quite warm as well. Each candidate is running with all they have in an all-out race to win the nomination for their party. I cannot remember any time in my life that I have been as deeply concerned about the outcome of our Presidential election as I am about this upcoming one. I believe this matter is worthy of nothing less than our most fervent prayer effort before God’s throne of grace. I also believe you share my concerns, and that you are already praying. That makes my heart glad! Those things aside, I feel a need to officially add my voice to the many others who are calling upon the believers in this wonderful country of ours to pray that the best person for this job - at this critical time in our history – will be the one chosen to lead our nation. May God help us as we exercise our voting privilege, and may God bless America.

TO OUR PARTNERS
I thank God for you. Every day. What a blessing you are to us and those to whom we minister in foreign lands. The role you play in this ministry is a most important one. May the Lord continually bless you and make all provision for you according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
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...

“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 ...
