Rev. Bud Cassidy Memorial Leadership Library Dedication

“Pay to everyone what is due them…honor to whom honor is due.” Romans 13:7 TLV

I am changing the focus of this newsletter to the on-going work in Nigeria, in order to share with you pictures from the formal dedication of the Rev. Bud Cassidy Memorial Leadership Library that is established in and through the ministry of Rev. and Mrs. Chuwang Davou and their ministry, Grace and Peace Foundation, Jos, Nigeria.

It gives me great joy to be able to honor my late husband, the love of my life, and Founder of Leadership Training International, alongside the wonderful Nigerians who loved/love him so dearly. He dearly loved them. Were he still with us today, his heart would be overflowing with joyful appreciation for the memorial they have raised in his honor.This pictorial presentation is the result of only one of the tens of thousands of others who are also in full-time ministry today because of his visionary leadership to raise up, teach, and equip nationals to fulfill their own God given callings to evangelize and pastor their own people. They are a very large part of his legacy. The work that he began continues through them. The church in northern Nigeria and other countries is much richer and stronger because of his dedication to this, his calling.Again, this year, David Smoot couriered more books from our personal library and more LTI General Fund money for the purchase of additional books for the Library. In addition, he participated in the official dedication ceremonies of this wonderful library. Thank you, David, for your years of labor with Bud in Nigeria, and your continuing labors there.








In 2017 Pastor Robert Wells helped fund this project with a generous gift of $500. I/We appreciate this expression of his love for Bud and his labors in Nigeria; so much so, that I want to say Thank You again, Pastor Wells.



Because there are over 4.4 billion people in the world who still need Jesus, I remain
Yours in missions,

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
