Scripture Prayer
Romans 8:35 and 36-39:
Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will trouble, or distress, or persecution, or famine or nakedness, or danger, or sword? No in all these things we have complete victory through him who loved us! For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor heavenly rulers, nor things that are present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, not anything else in creation will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
We thank You God for the ultimate victory in your Son, Jesus Christ and for your Holy Spirit which guides us in every way to do your perfect will. We thank You that nothing can separate us from the love of Jesus. And we thank You for the ministries of Father Shaw and Mother Julie and Lydia Mudge which help to spread the news of your victory and the reality of your love to the people in Peru. Lord, we particularly thank You this week for the spiritual closeness that the Mudges have felt this week and for the progress that they have made against spiritual warfare. Continue to guide and strengthen them, Lord, so that their ministries may thrive and so that neither death nor life, nor angels, nor heavenly rulers, nor anything else in all creation may separate the Mudges and those to whom they minister from your love in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.

Scripture Prayer
Romans 6: 10-11
For the death he died, he died to sin once for all, but the life he lives, he lives to God. So you too consider yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
Jesus, we thank You for your ultimate sacrifice: for dying to sin once for all of us. We especially praise You for your resurrection, which allows all of us believers to be dead to sin, but alive to God, in You, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Spirit.
We thank You for the message that Father Shaw and Mother Julie teach so that others in Peru might also be dead to sin and alive in You. Thank You for their teaching and preaching ministries. We ask Lord, that You be with the Mudges as they prepare for the next teaching cycle, showing their seminarians how the apostles lived in You in the book of Acts and how they may hear your voice more clearly as they study and interpret the Bible.
As always, Lord, we pray for all the people in the Diocese of Peru: for their relationships and spiritual protection, all of their ministries, finances, resources and priorities.
Amen.

Peace be with you.
This is our weekly public prayer mail for 27 March 2011. I can not believe it is almost April. The weather continues to change.

Prayers:
1) For my teaching an Anglicanism class on the Lectio Divina, Monday 28 March (covering for another faculty member).

3) For our course preparation for the next cycle. We will be teaching two courses: a course on Acts, and the second part of studying and interpreting the Bible.
4) For the annual diocesan synod on April 2, beginning at 2 pm, New York time. For the people being considered for the various positions, and the topics that will be presented and discussed (and perhaps voted on).

Scripture Prayer
From Luke 1: 46-48
My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior. For He that is mighty hath done great things and holy is His Name.
As the Virgin Mary succumbed to the will of God, bringing forth our great Savior, so the Mudges have been obedient in the Holy Spirit’s calling to them to minister in Peru. We thank You Lord, for every good gift that You have given to the Mudges as they teach and minister in Peru, bringing so many more people today and tomorrow into knowledge of You. May the spirits of Father Shaw and Mother Julie and Lydia rejoice in You and be full of joy as You do great and holy things through them.
We thank You Lord, that the visa issue has finally been resolved. We thank You for the safe return of Bishop Michael and Linda Chapman and we ask that You bless their ministry too. Thank You for the Anglican mission in Oasis; we ask for an increase in volunteers from the community and other necessary resources, so that this mission may truly be an oasis for You. Please continue to inspire Father Shaw and Mother Julie and all at the seminary who play a role in creating and implementing on-line courses. That the Mudges would be able to keep on top of all the things that You want them to do, Lord, we ask for your blessing. And for the relationships and spiritual protection of missionaries and other diocesan team members in Peru and for their ministries, finances, resources, and priorities, we ask all of this in the Name of Jesus, Amen.
