Missions

Mudge Mission Update for the week of 4 July 2010:

Happy 4th of July weekend!

Thanksgiving.

For the sermon that Shaw preached on Sunday at the Cathedral, and for the short term Albany/Peru mission plans that have fallen into place, so far (the trip is later in July).

Prayer:

That we have sufficient book resources that we need for our assigned reading lists, and that we find the time to be able to write our own books for the courses that we teach.

God bless you.

Shaw, Julie, and Lydia Mudge

Missionaries from the Diocese of Albany in Lima, Peru.

Dear Partners in Prayer,

Peace be with you.

This is our weekly public prayer mail.

Thanksgivings:

1) For Bp. Bill and the generosity of the Diocese of Albany towards our mission work by giving us part of the offering from Saturday's holy eucharist at Diocesan Convention.

2) Thank you to all our intercessors, and this week, particularly our intercessors in Texas, courtesy of Deacon Greg Bailey.

3) For our prayer team/support team, and the wonderful pot-trust dinner meeting we had this evening in our apartment.

4) For the great time and great reception that we have had in the Diocese of Albany, in general, over the past few weeks.

5) For the opportunities before us over the next few weeks to transform lives, and the opportunities to look to God for guidance as he transforms the country of Peru, just as streams of water would bring a desert to life.

Prayers:

1) For safe and timely travel Tuesday and Wednesday this week, as we head to Lima.

2) For fruitfulness and discernment, for the people, relationships, ministries, finances, resources, and priorities associated with the Diocese of Peru, Saints Augustine seminary, and the Missionaries in Peru (including us).

3) For the Albany short term mission trip plans July 19 to 30. There are some deadlines and administrative matters looming when we get back.

4) For our ministry at the Cathedral in Lima when we return, from June 16 to July 15; and for course preparation, and program development during the next few months.

Thank you for praying for us. We plan to send out a note after we have arrived at home in Lima.

Your praying really makes a difference, and I pray for you every day.

God bless you.

In Christ,

Shaw, and on behalf of Julie and Lydia
