Mark Logan Report

Dear Friend:

I have just returned home from the last of many trips. Since
July/August when I was in Africa, I have been preaching Missions and
Prophecy Conferences and showing pictures of the various fields where
God has used me. I have had only days between trips but now I am home
for awhile before several trips around the world planned for next
year. I hope you will read this attached prayer letter. Thank you
for your prayers for me and I trust God will give you a blessed
Thanksgiving and Christmas time.

Your friend in Christ,

Mark Logan

Dear Concerned Friends:

As I come to the last month of another year, I am reminded of how blessed I am. This time last year I was preaching along the banks of the Congo River every evening to about 600 people and teaching a few dozen pastors in the afternoons. Now, some of the soldiers who were saved at the meetings are no doubt part of the force in combat in the Eastern provinces near Goma. I have been in Pakistan where a suicide bomber blew himself up not 2 miles from where I was teaching. I was not able to make trips to Georgia and Myanmar which have been volatile recently but please pray that I will be able to go to both this year, 2009. I have been invited and am trusting God to open the way.

Last year I was also able to spend 5 weeks in Malawi, teaching all over the country in 3 and 4 day long sessions with African pastors and a few deacons’ families attending by the hundreds in each place. What a joy it was to see the orphans have a pizza party possibly for the first time thanks to a group of men from Charlotte who helped put up some needed roofs. Another group came from Canada and Asheville to labor long hours on needed buildings for the current 103 orphans and the new site being developed. Two churches in the Caribbean (Calvary, St. Thomas & Central, Anguilla) and a church in Canada sent funds for a big Christmas dinner for the orphans and staff. Other churches have sent money for food for them this winter (Royal City, Guelph, Eglise Baptiste, Boucherville and Trinity, Asheville) and many of you individually have sent money to me for food for pastors conferences, bicycles for evangelists, roofs for churches. I appreciate also the gifts that you have sent for me to use when I go to Pakistan, UAE, Africa particularly.

I would like to report that Hebron, the church planter in Dubai is doing great. He now has his permanent visa, has a job as a teacher and in fact has already been reprimanded for “proselytizing” simply by mentioning his faith in Christ to fellow teachers. He has several Bible studies in his apartment, has won some people to Christ, and goes on regular trips to the labor camps which are teeming with very poor workers from Sri Lanka, Pakistan, India and Bangladesh who are bussed in every day to work on the prosperous city of Dubai for very low wages, most of which are sent back to their homes to the slums where their families live. These are desperate men and Hebron takes jars of pickles and has bible studies with some. I plan to go along with him when I spend some days there before flying to Indonesia in January. Please pray for Hebron as he longs to start a Baptist church.

Please pray for me in mid-January as I go with BIMI missionaries Alan Brooks and Robert Meyer to the island of Nias, in Indonesia. It was hit hard by the 2004 tsunami and had a huge earthquake following. Because of supplies given through BIMI missionaries, a man was converted to Christ who is an education official. He has invited a team to pass out Bibles and preach in all the schools on the island, many of whom are located in the jungle and we will have to hike to get there. A team already went in September and passed out THOUSANDS OF BIBLES AND PREACHED THE GOSPEL TO THESE MUSLIM PEOPLE IN THE LARGEST MUSLIM NATION IN THE WORLD.

Donna is doing well. She and Bethany were enriched by their trip to Malawi. Donna has started a Ladies’ ministry there. The ladies she works with have saved money to build a church in a heavily Muslim area there. Heather and Brad , Andrew, Erin are grown up but it is a joy to see them and we will visit with them in the next few weeks. Keep praying for us.

Sincerely in Christ,

Mark Logan

Comments: The service was good, people enjoyed with the service and because of the Soul winning Program we are continue to receive the new members. On top of that Brother Fullford and his family are also still working hard with us by the way of door to door every Saturday. I am very concern when I was heard that your are not feeling well. Here in Malawi we will continue to pray for you and your family so that the Lord’s hand must healing you and Madam. Your son in Christ Pastor Joakim K. Betha 1Chronciles 4:9-10 God Bless You
