“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6 NLJV 





Greetings in the wonderful name of Jesus our Lord and Savior. I trust all is well with you and yours, and that you are enjoying the blessings of God in all areas of your life. I am happy to report that all is well with us, and we are walking in His blessings day by day. 

Ministry wise, I have taken the month of January to wait before the Lord for a fuller understanding of the ways in which He is leading me in ministry. I believe every minister needs to designate periods of time for this purpose, just as Jesus did in His own ministry. Happily, I can report that the Lord has granted my desire of Him. 

I wish I could lay it all out for you right now. However, the Lord and I are still working on the details of how to implement everything, and I believe it would be premature of me to say anything more at this time. I can say this much, however. It involves Him using this season of life that I am now in for His glory. God is doing great things all over the earth, and I am more than happy to still have an active part in that. Thank you for understanding.

I ask, again, that you remember Mark and Julie and myself in your prayers. Our hearts desire is only to accomplish the purpose for which He has called us into His glorious work. We continually need His wisdom, His guidance and His provision. Your prayers for us before The Throne will add strength to our labors for Him. You are always in our prayers, as well, for we all need Him in everything we do.

URGENT REQUESTI spoke with Bhalchandra Kamble last Friday for an update on the work in India. What I learned is that his family is having to move, along with the ministry office and the church he and Lena pastor. 

This Is No Small Thing. 

For all their years of ministry they have rented a flat in a high rise building for their home, another one for their office, and another one for their local church. For the first-time ever, other residents in the building are complaining about the church services, and the owners are requiring them to move. Vacant properties of any description are not easily found. When they are found, the cost for obtaining them is often formidable. 

They Need A Miracle. 

They need to stay in the same area they are presently in because of the church. This restricts the areas in which they can search. The fact that they have three needs wrapped into one makes the search more difficult. BUT GOD!!! Remember what I shared with you last month? He makes all things possible, and He has promised to supply ALL our needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. 

I Am Asking You For Three Things: Pray For A Miracle of more than adequate provision.Pray For The Necessary Finances to obtain the provision.Help Me Provide At Least Some Of The Needed Finances. I am asking you to give toward this need with your best possible gift. Bhalchandra has no idea, yet, what that cost will be because he has not found the property. I am believing for at least $2,000.00. They have to pay two-months rent up front, and they have to pay to move all their furnishings and equipment.

Thank you for responding as the Lord leads you.

Thank you, too, for your faithful partnership with us through your prayers and financial giving that keeps us moving along.

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...

“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 ...
