Joyful greetings! Christ is born! 
Thank you, God for sending your Son. Thank you, Jesus, for coming. I bless your name forever and ever.

SOMETHING NEW
We have never reported the ways in which LTI has gifted others throughout the years. We have worked under the premise that our benevolence giving should not be spoken of. You know…do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.
However, I was impressed a few weeks ago that I should at least let you know that a portion of all your general giving to LTI goes to bless others. Just as we have not believed we should explicitly broadcast our giving, we have also believed we are to give to others: that we are not to be a “Dead Sea” that only receives. We believe the law of giving applies to our ministry just as it does to us personally and to everyone else in the Body of Christ. This does not include funds raised for specific projects. Those funds, in total, always go to the projects for which they were raised. 
Let me share with you the ways in which we have blessed others throughout the years:
Provided funds to some of the national leaders we have raised up in India and Nigeria for special project needs.
Indirectly helped other missionaries finance their projects in many countries by pledging to  ministerial fellowships, of which we are a member. 
Provided monthly support for “new” missionaries just getting started.
Provided food, clothing, school supplies, and personal hygiene items for needy children and families in third world countries.
While I do not specifically know all the countries to which our giving has gone, here are those countries that we have given to directly:
Mexico
Guatemala
Israel
Nepal
Romania
Haiti
Zimbabwe
USA – University Campus Ministries
Our greatest desire is that all men, everywhere, would come to the saving knowledge of Jesus who came into this world for that purpose.
THANK YOU FOR GIVING
Through your faithful financial support, your gifts have reached not only the places we have ministered personally, but to all of these other places across the earth. I hope this report helps you understand your far-reaching targets. I can’t tell you how much we love you and appreciate you, but IT’s HUGE! 
THANK YOU and HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS
 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
