Weekly Mudge Prayer

Acts 11: 23-24

When he (Barnabas) arrived and saw the evidence of the grace of God, he was glad and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts. He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord.

Lord, on this day, the Feast of St Barnabas the Encourager, we thank You for all of the intercessors who bring encouragement to Fr. Shaw, Mother Julie, and Lydia Mudge and for those who support them financially. And we thank You for the Mudges who will be like Barnabas to the Peruvians, helping them to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts. Continue, Lord, to fill the Mudges with Your Holy Spirit and Faith. We look forward to the great number of people who will be brought closer to You because of their ministry.

Lord, we also ask that You continue to protect the Mudges from near-death experiences in taxis and equip them to do a mighty work for You during the Life in the Spirit seminars. Help them through the struggles of this time of “chaos” when so much energy has to be expended to communicate in a foreign language and to get acclimated to a new culture.

We praise You and we thank You, Lord for all that You are doing! In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, we pray. Amen.
