“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

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
