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.
