Psalm 98: 1-3
Sing to the Lord a new song,
For He has done marvelous things;
His right hand and his holy arm
Have worked salvation for Him.
The Lord has made his salvation known,
And revealed his righteousness to the nations.
He has remembered his love and his faithfulness to the house of Israel;
All the ends of the earth have seen
The salvation of our God.

We praise You Lord, for the marvelous things that You have done, especially for your sacrifice on the cross, for dying for our sins, for your resurrection and for your merciful grace in that all who believe in You will be saved and have eternal life. We thank You for Fr. Shaw, Mother Julie, and Lydia Mudge and the part that they will play in revealing your righteousness to the people of Peru. Give them strength and empowerment and financial provision that they may be effective disciples making disciples. We pray that for all of us, Lord. Amen.

Psalm 98: 4-6
Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth,
Burst into jubilant song with music;
Make music to the Lord with the harp,
With the harp and the sound of singing,
With trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn ---
Shout for joy before the Lord and King.

Lord, we thank You for the gift of joy and for the gift of music. Thank You for Mother Julia’s talent in playing the piano. We pray that her music will bring the Peruvian people into your joy. Amen.

Psalm 98: 7-9
Let the sea resound and everything in it,
The world and all who live in it.
Let the rivers clap their hands,
Let the mountains sing together for joy;
Let them sing before the Lord,
For He comes to judge the earth,
He will judge the world in righteousness
And the people with equity.

Lord, we thank You for the beauty of nature and for all the natural beauty in the mountains and rivers of Peru. Again, we thank You for your righteousness and for your mercy and your equity. Have mercy upon us, have mercy upon the Mudges, and have mercy upon the people in Peru to whom the Mudges will be ministering. Amen
