ZOOM!

“…a great (wide) and effective door of ministry has opened to me…” 1 Corinthians 16:9 NKJV
G reetings in the wonderful name of Jesus. The name above all other names. I trust everything is well with you and yours; that God has and is taking you through COVID-19 successfully; showing His love and care for you in every way. He has and is certainly doing that for me and my family. Praise His name. No FEAR.
A New Door of Ministry Has Opened to Me
An unexpected additional door of ministry has opened for me. It really is a great and effective opportunity. I am going to Nigeria again! 
And I won’t have to board an airplane to get there. I’ll just “Zoom” over on the internet and the next thing you know I will be there. Thank God for ZOOM! As one of the most popular marvels of internet communication, ZOOM makes it possible for me to “go” again. I am truly thankful.
Six weeks ago, David Smoot and I “Zoomed” to Nigeria to begin weekly teaching sessions with some of Chuwang Davoe’s ministerial students and area ministers. I’m sure you remember me writing to you many times about him. 
In partnership with Chuwang, David and I will be teaching and equipping present and new generations of church leaders in Nigeria and beyond. There will always be a need for this kind of ministry until Jesus returns. Helping to fill this need is why God called us. And doing so gives us great joy.
As in America, Nigeria has been on lockdown because of COVID-19, requiring them to practice safe social distancing, etc. In spite of that, they have been able to gather a fair number of participants. Each week the number increases. We began with 6 in the first session. This week there were 18. Two more would have been there if travel restrictions had not prevented their attendance. The numbers are expected to significantly increase once the lockdown is lifted. 
I hope you rejoice with me. 
THANK YOU for faithfully standing with me in this ministry. We are laborers together with the Lord for the increase of His kingdom. I love you and pray for you continually. LTI needs more laborers like you to join our ranks. Will you pray with me for that need to be met? Thank you. 
 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
