Greetings from beautiful Redding!
This has certainly been an eventful summer. Josh and Claire are enjoying their honeymoon in the UK and Spain. Mark is rehabbing his shoulder and preparing to leave for 2 weeks in Alaska. Julie is beyond busy with her job at the Redding Civic and preparing to launch Gospel Communicators here in California.
About the Alaska trip. Mark’s been trying to get back to Juneau for a while and it’s finally come together. Mark will be preaching at our old church, Praise Chapel, twice. He’ll also be doing some work on Bill and Liz Paddocks house. You might remember Bill, he went to India with Mark several years ago and is now pastoring Praise Chapel. We’re believing that the Father will use this trip to help with some of the expenses for the Kenya trip. 
KENYA
    Pastor Gordon is a busy man. He recently went on a trip to Tanzania. He shared with pastors and leaders there and believes this to be an open door for us! Look for a future trip to include Tanzania.
Everything is set for Mark’s arrival and according to Gordon folks are really excited. The teachings on Kingdom culture have really struck a chord with the Kenyan church. They’re actually co-laboring with the Father to transform the cultures in their churches! The goal for the September trip is to show them how to steward what God is doing in their churches and how Kingdom culture can work outside the church.
NEEDS FOR THE TRIP

    $1,000    - Airfare
$1,200 - Car Rental
$1,050 - Mark’s Room & Board
$400 - Manuals
$300 - Gas for Extra Travel
$250 - Portable Sound System

Would you prayerfully consider partnering with us for these needs? Let’s join our faith and watch the Father make this happen!
Thanks for your radical generosity, your prayers, and your co-laboring with Jesus to see His will done for the least and the lost!
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 ...
