“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

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
