News From the Dyars...

Greetings from Beautiful Northern California!
Another eventful month in the Dyar household. Claire and Josh are back from Europe and settling into married life here in Redding. Ellen is on her way to New York City with her sister Hannah and Mark is back from a wonderful (and successful!) trip to Juneau. Gospel Communicators is taking off and looking like it will become what Mark and Julie envision it to be - a help to those stepping out into ministry, and an income stream that will help support the work we’re doing overseas. 
JUNEAU
He’s a good, GOOD Father! Mark’s two weeks in Alaska were quite a blessing. He was able to get a lot of work done on the siding job for Bill and Liz Paddock and preach twice at Juneau Revival Center (Praise Chapel). What a blessing! You can find both messages on itunes or via the link on JRC’s Facebook page. 
DYAR GIRLS
From time to time we like to share what God is doing in, through and for our girls, testimonies to His goodness that we hope bless and encourage you. You may recall that Hannah is in medical school, pursuing her calling to be a doctor. Ellen is hard after her God-given dream to shine His light in the musical theatre world. Somehow, the Father brought these two divergent paths together and both are now headed to New York City together! Another huge step towards seeing their destinies come to life!
KENYA
Wow, time flies! Mark’s Kenya trip is right around the corner. He’s in full prep mode, working on messages, visas, tickets, etc. Gordon has the itinerary set and it’s a full one! Five conferences for pastors and leaders plus preaching each Sunday should keep Mark busy while he’s there. Mark will also be looking at some possible sites for the School of Ministry and talking to folks that might want to attend the school. We would ask that you keep this trip in your prayers. Kenya just had an election and there has been some “unrest”, so we’re asking that you pray for peace for Kenya and protection for Mark and Gordon as they minister.
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

To date we’ve raised $750.00. 
Would you prayerfully consider helping us with these needs?
Thank you for all you do, your prayers and generosity make it possible for us to reach out to the “least and the lost”!
Yours for the Kingdom,


Mark and Julie

“For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 6:9   C hristmas greetings to one and all in this the most joyous season of the year! 2021 has been a rather trying year.  You may have been like the character in the movie “ Dances With Wolves ” who, upon seeing the skeleton remains of an unfortunate traveler said, “Somebody back east is saying, ”Why don’t she write?”  Well, my silence has been because I have had a series of serious physical issues including a small stroke. But, Praise God, I am finally coming out on the backside of them.   And, despite them, it has still been a productive year.  I have used the time to upgrade the teaching material of several of the subjects we have written over the years, revising, and where needed, adding to them. My physical condition has also limited my participation in ...

  “…whatever things are of a good report…think on these things.” Philippians 4:8 G reetings in the wonderful name of Jesus, our Lord. Today I am thinking on the good reports I have received from my many friends in Louisiana and Texas who could be suffering from the devastation of Hurricane Laura but are not. I have received only good reports, and I am very thankful. To God be the glory. MY “ZOOMING” REPORT INDIA Teaching the precious women from the churches in India that Bhalchandra and Leena Kamble have established and oversee has been wonderful!  We meet every other Friday. It is 8:00 AM my time and 5:30 PM their time. Nine and one-half hours difference. But we can make it work!  Forty (40) women attended the first session. Fifty (50) in the second. Bhalchandra believes there will be more in our next session on September 4th. I teach in English, and Leena interprets in Marathi (the language spoken by about 60 million people in Maharashtra State (formerly known as ...

Merry Christmas from the Dyars....

Greetings from beautiful Redding!  We trust this letter finds you all well. Life continues to be life. Even as we still miss Toodie, we are on our way to Bakersfield to celebrate a marriage in the family. In many ways, this dance of sorrow and joy, is the very spice of life; and without it, life would be incredibly boring.   Romania Another of life’s surprises... we ran into Pastor Adi at this year’s Leaders Advance Conference hosted by Bethel Church. It was great to run into Adi. Of course, his first question was, “When are you coming back to Romania?” So, we are praying about a date... leaning towards late Summer or early Fall. We are opening this trip up to any of you who would like to do some cross cultural ministry. We would be gone two weeks and the cost of the trip including airfare and in country expenses will be $3,400.  Kenya Our new partnership with Gordon Onyango and Job Ogwangwa seems to be a fruitful one. Both of these young pastors have...
