Happy New Year from Mary Ann's Desk...

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord...” Jeremiah 29:11 NKJV


2017
It’s Here! It’s a New Year! A blank page waiting to be written upon! What will we write? Each of us? At the end of this year, what will our report be? For some, it will be life as usual. For others, it will be facing challenges never thought of. Still others will hear the voice of the Lord directing them toward new horizons.

Whatever path lies before us, the important thing is that each of us endeavors to follow the purpose of God – His destiny -  for us. When that is happening, we are filled with joy and a great sense of accomplishment. We are blessed. We are happy.

So, I wish you a year filled to overflowing with blessing, joy and happiness all year through.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 2016 Christmas
2016 ended quietly for my family. We are always scattered because Julie and Mark’s family gather with them in California. The rest of my family live in Florida, and we gather at one of our homes for our Christmas celebration. For various reasons, we were not able to do that last month, so Janna and I were together for Christmas. We had a good time together. We always do.

Now, we are back on the regular track. I am busy writing and continuing my collaborative efforts with Chuwang Davou in Nigeria and Bhalchandra Kamble in India.

I ask you to keep all of us at LTI in your prayers, as we keep you in ours. And we know that our God will supply all the answers for each of us.

I send a special Thank You to all who faithfully partner with us financially and in prayer. May the Lord abundantly bless you is my prayer.

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 ...
