“…the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.” 2 Timothy 2:2 Greetings in Jesus’ wonderful name. I am rejoicing in the goodness of the Lord and I hope you are as well. As promised, this month I am reporting on recent events in the ministry of Bhalchandra Kamble, in India. There are many wonderful things happening in his ministry. I want to focus on only two that show the before and after of him working with the new laptop computer and projector my home church, Wings of Faith Fellowship and LTI were able to provide him for his work in conducting pastors and other church leaders seminars for the growing church in India. Yes, I did say, “the growing church in India.” God is moving by His Spirit all over the earth these days. Even in India. Hallelujah. RAISED TO THE NEXT LEVEL We met Bhalchandra in 1987 when we began ministering in India. He was about 21 years old, and became very activ...

Greetings from Redding, This month we have a short but sweet update. We’ve had another $500 come in towards the Kenya trip. This leaves us with only $1,300 more to raise. As we have placed this trip before the Lord, we continue to know two things: 1. Mark is supposed to go; and, 2. The provision is going to look different this time. While not a wholly comfortable place for us, we trust the Lord. We trust His goodness. We trust His provision. We trust His timing. The command for the moment is to trust and rest. So, that is what we will do. We look forward to having more news to share next month. Yours for the kingdom, Mark & Julie Dyar

“But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.” NKJV Happy greetings to you today. The internet is a wonderful thing that allows our team to visit you once a month and bring you the news of what God is doing in our lives and in the parts of the world where we work for His glory. May you be blessed as your read our letter this month. Let me begin by saying… It is a wonderful privilege to be called to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world outside our own country; to see the Gospel take root in the hearts and lives of the people, and watch them grow. It is like watching our own children grow and mature in both their natural and spiritual lives. It gives us great joy. In times past, I have shared with you a bit of God’s call upon Mark’s life for Christian service in foreign nations. His is a wonderful story. I hope you enjoyed reading it. ...

Hello Everyone!  We hope you are all doing well. This month, we want to pull the curtain back so to speak and share where we are as people as well as what’s going on for ministry; a conversation between friends. Is that all right? Awesome! Grab a cup of coffee and settle in. THE FAMILY  We continue to be astounded at how our children have taken us at our word and stepped out in faith in where they see God calling them. We’ve bred a whole new generation of risk takers and it’s awesome to watch God show up for your kids. Hannah, our oldest, continues to do well in medical school and will be taking her first set of board exams this summer. She tends to be more naturally inclined to nervousness and anxiety, which has been a struggle at exam time in the past. Over the last year or so, though, she’s made great strides and is approaching her board exams with confidence. Ellen is graduating from college in May and already has a year long contract in place. She will be trav...

“But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. …Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ.” I Corinthians 15:20, 23 (ESV) Greetings in the wonderful name of Jesus Christ. I trust all is well with you and all that pertains to you.  Later this month, we will be celebrating again the advent of Christ’s resurrection from the dead. This advent of His life causes us to remember, with joy and thanksgiving, the tremendous work He accomplished in His flesh for our redemption, crowned with Him being raised from the dead.  Not only that, but this advent also allows us to look beyond this life to the life eternal that we will be sharing with Him and all our fellow believers, because the power of His resurrection will have been realized in our own bodies. Our hope will be reality. Our redemption will be complete. What a day that will be!  May your Resurrection/Easter Sunday be glo...

Greetings from Beautiful Northern California! What in the world? Stuff blooms in February? 65, 70 degrees in the winter? That’s just not right! February is cold, single digit lows, snow, wind; not sunny, beautiful, shorts and T-shirt weather. Mark’s already thinking about getting ready for spring steelhead. That’s not supposed to happen before the end of March. Ahh, well, guess we can bear it. Seriously, this is great. No snow to shovel, daylight before 9:00 AM and after 3:00 PM, no studs, no ice... a person could get used to this. KENYA This is a good news/bad news thing. Good news is the trip is still on, bad news is we have to postpone. March just isn’t going to work. For one thing, the money just hasn’t come in. For another, Mark has to be here when we move into the manager’s unit. We’ve been offered the on-site manager’s position and it seems like a perfect fit. Good compensation and plenty of freedom to keep doing missions full time. Mark has already let the folks in Keny...

“Now this is the confidence we have before Him – that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us – whatever we ask – we know that we have the requests we have asked from Him. I John 5:14, 15 (TLV) Warm greetings to you today.  Only the date on the calendar tells us it is winter time in Florida, because it feels like spring. If things continue as they are right now, we will be seeing the azalea bushes begin to blossom. How is it at your house? Whatever the weather, I hope you are enjoying it. UPCOMING ELECTION The political scene in America is quite warm as well. Each candidate is running with all they have in an all-out race to win the nomination for their party. I cannot remember any time in my life that I have been as deeply concerned about the outcome of our Presidential election as I am about this upcoming one. I believe this matter is worthy of nothing less than our most fervent prayer effort before God’s throne ...
