“I will bless the Lord at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth.” Psalm 34:1 (NKJV)

Greetings, again, in the wonderful name of Jesus our Lord and Savior. He is so good and faithful to all of us who know Him, and I rejoice in His goodness and faithfulness to me.

PRAISE REPORT!
All of you who are friends with me on Facebook already know what I am about to say, but the rest of you need to know about it too. 

On August 1, only a few days after I had put last month’s newsletter in the mail, I went to the cancer center not knowing if I would have to take another chemo therapy treatment or if I would hear those wonderful words “You are cancer free.” 

Gladly, it was the later...

 “You are cancer free…no more chemo!” 

I cannot sufficiently express to you the joyous relief my spirit felt upon hearing those words. I was believing to hear those words “cancer free,” but was dreadfully bracing myself for another treatment, if it turned out to be so. 

I am so thankful to God for His healing mercy in my behalf, because I truly believe it was just that which brought me to the cancer free declaration in only four treatments as opposed to the six that were initially planned. 

Thank you Lord. AND, my deepest thanks to all of you who kept me in your prayers for this exact outcome. You are more than appreciated. You are loved. God bless each of you with His abundant mercy and grace. I will be monitored every three months for the next two years to be sure the cancer stays in remission. I am believing it will never return again. You can believe with me if you will. To God be the glory.

FROM THEN TIL NOW…
During the four months of cancer treatments, I have had to put many things on hold until I became well enough to take care of them. Thankfully, I was able to take care of the absolutely necessary things, but was unable to care for everything. 

So, this past month my time has been spent in taking care of a good deal of the backlog, and will continue doing so until everything is up to date again. 

Almost daily, I find my strength increasing, and am able to do more than the day before. I expect an exciting report to you next month. Thank you for understanding. I know you do.

Thank you Partners, for standing with us so faithfully. Mark is leaving soon for Kenya, and the work goes on for the increase of the Kingdom of God. Each of you help make these things happen. God bless you abundantly, is my prayers. 

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...

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 ...
