Weekly Prayer Mail

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Prayer,

Peace be with you.

This is our public Prayer Mail for 9 November 09:

1) Thanksgiving that Lydia´s visa process moves forward. Her notarized birth certificate has arrived in Lima. More meetings ahead.

2) Thanksgiving for the ministries in which we are participating at the seminary, parish, and in the diocese.

3) Thanksgiving for all our supporters, financially, in prayer, and with resources.

4) Thanksgiving that a date has been set up for the coming Albany short term mission trip to Lima next year.

Prayer requests:
1) For Lydia´s visa process. More meetings ahead.

2) For the people we meet and minister to, at seminary, in the Mission of Ascension, and in the Diocese of Peru.

3) For the priorities, finances, and resources (including prayer resources) of the Diocese of Peru, the seminary, and the missionaries here (including us).

4) For Mudge family Thanksgiving and Christmas celebration plans. We will be in Peru (that is one set of plans), and we will have family in the US (that is another set of plans).

5) For the Diocese of Albany short-term mission trip next year. As it turns out, the team would be down here during the national holiday in July, which happens to be my birthday. This is great.

6) For the Hari-Krishna restaurant behind our apartment building which sometimes plays music at such a volume that it is easy to imagine that we are in India instead of Peru.

7) For a Provincial Youth Leaders retreat coming up on November 20. We may be helping to lead a Life in the Spirit seminar for them on that weekend.

8) For the students in our classes as exam week nears (exams begin November 30).

9) For the seminary´s administrative and course planning, and the planning of the diocesan ordination process. We are involved in all of this.

10) I will be preaching in Spanish this coming Sunday at the Mission of Ascension, at 11 am (same as New York time).

Thank you for praying for us. I pray for you every day.

God bless you.

Shaw, and on behalf of Julie and Lydia.
