Happy New Year from the Dyars...

By -


Greetings from beautiful Redding! 
Christmas is past (hope yours was great) and the New Year is upon us. What a year it has been! On the ministry front we’ve seen new doors open in Kenya, curriculum the School of Ministry nearly completed and a lot of folks saved, healed and set free. On a more personal note, we’ve lost loved ones, seen loved ones married and new loved ones born. God is showing His hand in the move to Redding, forging relationships that promise to have a tremendous effect on our lives and ministry.

Romania
We’re planning a late summer trip, probably mid August. Mark will be delivering the completed curriculum to Pastor Adi. If we can put a team together we’ll be doing some building in the “gypsy” camp at the dump. Between that and ministering in churches there will be lots to do for anyone that has felt the urge to take the Gospel to the nations.
We need to raise $3400-3800 for this trip, depending on airfare. The cost for those joining us would be the same. This is a great opportunity for anyone with the desire to do cross-cultural ministry to “get their feet wet”.

Kenya
We’re working towards a trip this March. Mark will be leaving on the 17th and returning on the 27th. Gordon is already working on ministry plans.that will include 2 or 3 churches in Nakuru, a conference in Kisii and ministry time in the bush. But the focus will be on Nakuru and tending the spark of revival there. Please, be in prayer for Kenya, ask the Father for this nation, for revival to take hold and His Spirit to transform the country.
The need for this trip is $3900. Would you prayerfully consider giving towards this trip? Great strides have been made here and we want to keep the momentum going!
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 ...
