Update from Mother Julia Mudge: (written on August 26)
We hope for the condo to close this week, to get it painted before the 5th of Sept. when the movers are scheduled. Moving sale will be Sat Aug 30 and Mon. Sept. 1.
Packing day on Sat. Aug. 30th. Unpacking day on Sept. 6th (unless the painting takes longer and I have to move the movers back.) The house should close the following week.
I estimate that we are at about 25% of the monthly pledges that we need. One time gifts of money are at a much higher percent.
Lord, we pray that you be with the Mudges as they deal with all the activities revolving around their move from Duanesburg to North Greenbush. We pray that the moving sales are profitable. We pray for the painting of the new condo, that it is completed in a timely fashion. And we pray for an increase in the monthly pledges needed for the Mudges to begin their ministry in Peru. Amen.
Psalm 117:
Praise the Lord, all you nations;
Extol him, all you peoples.
For great is his love toward us,
And the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever.
Praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord, all you nations. Father God, we praise You and we thank You for all the people in Peru who will be blessed by the ministry of Fr. Shaw, Mother Julie, and Lydia Mudge. Thank You for your eternal faithfulness. Amen.
Acts 10: 44-46:
While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message. The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles. For they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God.
Again, Lord, we thank You for your calling the Mudges to ministry in Peru. May there be many baptisms in Jesus and baptisms in the Holy Spirit. We praise You, Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen.

Isaiah 40: 31
They that wait upon the Lord
Shall renew their strength
They shall rise up and soar like eagles.
They shall run and not grow weary
They shall walk and not faint.
Lord, we ask for the gift of patience for Fr. Shaw, Mother Julie, and Lydia Mudge and for us who have committed to a ministry of prayer for them. We know that you are preparing the Mudges for great things in their mission to Peru. Continue to send them encouragement in words and actions and monetary donations. Keep them strong now and give them that vision of soaring like eagles as they do your work. Amen.

Update and Prayer August 10
Update from Fr. Shaw Mudge:
We are hoping to go down to Peru early next year, but we have to raise
sufficient support, first. We are off to a very good start.
As of now, we are planning to move in early September to
North Greenbush, NY.
If things go smoothly for raising support, we could have the following scenario:
"mission month" in Colorado, Mid-Feb to Mid-March.
If that happens at that time,
I'd aim for April in Peru, but before that happens,
SAMS has to give its final approval and for that to happen,
SAMS has to verify that we have sufficientsupport,
we have to have doctors physicals, etc.
We are planning to be commissioned as Missionaries and talk at the Diocesan
Missions Conference on October 11.
Psalm 67:
May God be gracious to us and bless us
And make his face shine upon us,
That your ways may be known on earth,
Your salvation among all nations.
May the peoples praise you, O God;
May all the peoples praise you.
May the nations be glad and sing for joy,
For you rule the peoples justly
And guide the nations of the earth.
May the peoples praise you, O God;
May all the peoples praise you.
Then the land will yield its harvest,
And God, our God, will bless us.
God will bless us,
And all the ends of the earth will fear him.
God, our Father, be gracious to Fr. Shaw, Mother Julie, and Lydia Mudge. Jesus, God the Son, shine upon them and enable them to reflect Your Glory to all to whom they minister. God, the Holy Spirit, empower the Mudges to share Your Ways and Your Salvation wherever they may be, here in the Albany Diocese, in Colorado and in Peru.
May all the peoples praise You; may the ends of the earth be in awe of You. We ask for your grace and blessings upon the Mudges and all those with whom they will be in contact. Amen.
