Greetings from Northern California!

Summer is passing and fall is fast approaching. Music to Mark’s ear. Soon the 100+ degree days will be done for a while. The change of seasons happens incredibly fast here, seemingly overnight. 105 one day, 85 the next. Can’t happen soon enough for Mark!

KENYA
And we’re off! Well, almost. By the time you read this, Mark will be just a few days from leaving on
September 9. And yes, it’s time for the scramble, visa, in-country arrangements, prepping messages and prayer...lots of prayer! This trip is incredibly important and before we go any further, thank you! Thank you for your prayers, your support and your mind boggling generosity!

Mark will hit the ground running. He arrives Saturday night, late, and preaches Sunday morning, early. And Sunday afternoon... and evening. He’ll be staying in Nairobi until Thursday then off to Nakuru. He’ll be ministering there until he leaves on Wednesday, September 21. Mathew has done a great job on the itinerary! What a blessing he is!

This trip is going to be focused on the church, training leaders and equipping believers. Mark will also be laying the groundwork for a School of Ministry in Nakuru. But the main focus is taken from 
Psalm 27:13:

“I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.”

And 2 Corinthians 6:18

“I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”

We’ll also be talking about stewarding a move of God and the pitfalls that have curtailed past revivals. Please, pray that Mark hears what is on the Father’s heart and that the Holy Ghost shows up in power.

Thanks for all you do so that the Kingdom might advance.

Yours for the kingdom,



Mark & Julie Dyar

“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 ...
