Dear Partners in Prayer,
Peace be with you.
This is our weekly public prayer mail.
Thanksgivings:
1) For the great Diocesan Youth fundraiser held Saturday in Lima. It was an awesome job to pull together, by missionaries and local youth leaders/clergy. Several of our students (past and present) are in the photos. If you were on the Albany mission trip, you might recognize a few people. Photos can be seen at:
http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=257622&id=629731941&l=00466d4214
2) For the great service we had on Sunday at La Ascension. Julie preached. I like her preaching.
3) For what we accomplished in class this week.
4) Praise God for what he does through us, to change lives.
5) That we were not troubled too much by the water being turned off for many hours yesterday, nor by the earthquake on the first day of Spring. Events like these remind me how dependent we are on God, daily, for life and for being able to do what we do.
6) For a great sense of God's provision for our future.
Prayers:
1) For our relationships, ministries, finances, resources, and priorities.
2) For the students in the final week of classes this cycle. This is their exam week.
3) For ordination candidates as they begin preparing for diocesan canonical exams.
4) For the AMA retreat coming up next week end (the diocesan equivalent of the ECW or Daughter's of the King). Julie is one of the musicians.
5) For the current administrative needs of the seminary and the Diocese.
6) That we would be able to keep on top of all the daily things that we need to do.
7) For the growth of the Mission of La Ascension, where we have been attending.
8) Mayoral elections are next Sunday, in each District in Lima and for the Mayor of the entire city of Lima. Please keep the elections in your prayers. Because meetings can not be held during election hours on Sunday (by law), our service is on Friday evening. It is also a "dry" weekend, and alcoholic beverages can not be sold on the Saturday or Sunday.
9) For Lydia's college application process. It is almost complete.
10) For the construction on the new apartment building going up next door to ours. For safety for the workers, good building practices, and that the construction would not be too disruptive in our lives.
Countdown until the view from our kitchen window almost completely disappears: perhaps 2 to 3 weeks. Please pray for our adjustment to this.
Thank you for praying for us. Your praying really makes a difference, and I pray for you every day.
God bless you.
In Christ,
Shaw, and on behalf of Julie and Lydia
Missionaries of the Diocese of Albany, serving in Lima, Peru.

Prayer
Prayer for Young Persons
(BCP p829)
God our Father, you see your children growing up in an unsteady and confusing world: Show them that your ways give more life than the ways of the world, and that following you is better than chasing after selfish goals. Help them to take failure, not as a measure of their worth, but as a chance for a new start. Give them strength to hold their faith in you, and to keep alive their joy in your creation; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Note: This week’s prayer is for Fr. Shaw and Mother Julie’s three daughters. Ruth, their oldest, lives in Chicago. Hannah, the middle child, was recently ordained to the deaconate and will be ordained a priest, God willing, in December. She and her partner in ministry, Christina Vance, were featured in the religion section of the Albany Times Union today. They have moved into an apartment near RPI in Troy, and they are starting a home church, which they call “Oaks of Righteousness”. Their focus will be RPI students and an outreach to the poor in North Central Troy. And you all know of Lydia, who is with her parents in Peru, but applying to colleges in the U.S.
All three girls (and Christina) are well-grounded in their faith and we expect that there will not be many failures, but those that do happen, will be good learning experiences.
Lord, we pray for the three Mudge daughters. We thank You for the good upbringing provided by Fr. Shaw and Mother Julie and the deep faith that they have in You. They are truly gifts of joy. We pray Lord for their individual lives and aspirations. We pray for Ruth for a career in music and for a satisfying personal life. We pray for Hannah and Christina as they start their ministry. May Oaks of Righteousness be truly fruitful in bringing RPI students into your kingdom and helping out the less fortunate in Troy. And we pray for Lydia about the college application process. Help her to finish all the paper work and may she be accepted at the college that is best for her and for your plans for her life. Thank You, Lord, for these delightful young ladies. Amen.

Scripture Prayer
Psalm 150
Hallelujah!
Praise God in his holy place.
Praise him in his mighty heavens.
Praise him for his might acts.
Praise him for his immense greatness.
Praise him with sounds from horns.
Praise him with harps and lyres.
Praise him with tambourines and dancing.
Praise him with stringed instruments and flutes.
Praise him with loud cymbals.
Praise him with crashing cymbals.
Let everything that breathes praise the Lord!
Hallelujah!
Lord, we give you praise, for all that you are doing in the diocese of Peru through the Mudges and the Chapmans and the Montgomerys and for all the other faithful servants whose names we do not know. We especially rejoice for the institution of Fr. Michael Chapman as Suffragen Bishop on Saturday. We pray for a very special holy joy filled service. May shouts of joy reach you in the heavens. May the music reflect your glory. Let every participant be filled with your Holy Spirit and praise You with every breath!
We also pray about all the administrative details, dealing with an overflowing crowd, travel mercies for the Chapmans’ family and guests, and inspiration for every speaker.
Lord, please fill Fr. Michael Chapman to overflowing with your Holy Spirit and continue to guide him and all in the diocese of Peru to do powerful work for You. Amen.

September Newsletter
Praying for the marginalized.
There are a fair number of marginalized people in Lima, and some of them are poor. The marginalized people are the people who (for one reason or another) do not fit in. You may know people like that.
We see it all the time, here. And the photograph in this month´s newsletter shows a really tough section of Lima. Out of about 38 or so Districts in Lima, this has a reputation of being the worst. I would call people, here, marginalized. (Note: the photograph does not appear in the blog version.)
Why were we driving through here? Well, our taxi driver needed to get us home as quickly as possible and took the short route. But he only told us about this section of the city when we were passing through, with the added remark: "no one in Lima will believe it if you tell them you were here." So, I took a photo. I asked him if his taxi was in good shape.
Why is it so rough? Drugs. Bad stuff. So, here is an idea: pick a building in the photo and pray for the safety of the people living in it, and that the neighborhood would be converted, materially and spiritually.
We live in a district in the city of Lima that is constantly changing, and there is an apartment building going up, next door. Their outer wall may be a few inches from our laundry room window. I figure we have about 3 or 4 weeks left of a decent view from our kitchen window before progress reaches us. And I like our view.
On the other hand, watching the men at work is fascinating. It is just amazing to watch them do what they do, and I pray for them, for their safety, for the building construction.
I learn a lot about a culture by watching what people do. I am learning to withhold my comments, until I learn why they do it. 15 months ago, I used to catch myself thinking about local customs for transporting goods or erecting buildings, "but what will they do when it rains or snows?" (Momentarily forgetting, that we do not have either rain or snow.) People, here, may do things differently, and if they do, it is often for a good reason.
Prayer Requests:
• For the end of the current seminary cycle (exams begin the last full week in September), and the beginning of the next seminary cycle (begins the second week in October).
• For seminary and diocesan administrative matters.
• For our relationships, priorities, ministries, and finances.
Soon Spring will be here, for us, and a lot of people reading this will be heading into Autumn. So, for you all: "have a great autumn!"
God bless you, and thank you for your continuing support! I pray for you, every day.

Scripture Prayer
Psalm 40:5
You have done many miraculous things, O Lord my God.
You have made many wonderful plans for us.
No one compares to You!
I will tell others about your miracles, which are more than I can count.
We thank You Lord, for all the many miraculous things that You have done and for the many miracles that have occurred in Peru because of the ministry of Fr. Shaw and Mother Julie and Lydia Mudge. We thank You for the wonderful plans that You have for the Mudges as they tell others about your miracles as they teach, as they preach, and as they lead worship for You.
Also, Lord, we ask for special blessings for Fr. Michael Schaeffer as the time for his institution as Suffragen Bishop of Peru approaches. May Your Holy Spirit always guide and sustain him. Amen.

Prayer Mail
Dear Partners in Prayer,
Peace be with you.
This is our weekly public prayer mail. I have a thought at the end if you would like to pray further for Peru and our ministry here.
Thanksgivings:
1) For what we have been able to accomplish this teaching cycle, so far.
2) The blessings we experience each week.
3) For what God is doing, here in Peru, in general.
4) For what we have been able to accomplish with the ordination processes, here.
5) For the great service we had today at La Ascension. The music was great. Fr. Alberto preached a great sermon on Philemon and forgiveness, and it was a Mudge Sunday with my celebrating, Julie in a supporting role, and Lydia as acolyte.
6) The party in one of the parishioner's homes that we went to yesterday. It was a blessing.
Prayers:
1) For our relationships, ministries, finances, resources, and priorities.
2) For the students in our classes this week, the changes in the schedule due to the preparations for the consecration on Saturday, and for what we are teaching.
3) We would like prayer for the preparations for the next cycle of classes.
4) For the consecration of Fr. Mike Chapman at the Cathedral in Lima, on Saturday.
5) That we would be able to keep on top of all the daily things that we need to do.
6) For the growth of the Mission of La Ascension, where we have been attending.
7) Mayoral elections are coming up in October. Please keep these in your prayers.
8) Lydia's college application process.
Thank you for praying for us. Your praying really makes a difference, and I pray for you every day.
And here is the idea:
I have some pictures of our adventures in Peru on my Facebook page. Consider praying for what you see in the pictures, or as the Lord leads. If you wish, write a prayer in the comment section of the picture, for others to pray. Pray as the Lord leads. It is kind of like the Prayer Table idea. You pray for people or circumstances as you meet them in the photos.
Here is the latest link (All photos are available to be seen by anyone in the world, so you do not have to sign up to be a Facebook friend, and also to keep in mind as you write something):
www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=252111&id=629731941&l=936d13b9e9
I also enjoy answering questions that people have about the pictures (and your asking questions may help you focus your prayers), though in some cases it may be best not to list a specific person's name or a specific address. I do not mind explaining what is happening in a picture or answering any cultural question that you may have.
God bless you.
In Christ,
Shaw, and on behalf of Julie and Lydia

Scripture Prayer
Job 22: 21-28
Submit to God and be at peace with him; in this way prosperity will come to you. Accept instruction from his mouth and lay up his words in your heart.
If you return to the Almighty you will be restored: If you remove wickedness far from your tent and assign your nuggets to the dust, your gold of Ophir to the rocks in the ravines, then the Almighty will be your gold, the choicest silver for you.
Surely then you will find delight in the Almighty and will lift up your face to God.
You will pray to him, and he will hear you, and you will fulfill your vows.
What you decide on will be done and light will shine on your ways.
Lord, we thank You for Father Shaw and Mother Julie and Lydia Mudge, your servants who do submit to You. We thank You that they are at peace with You and we pray that they continue in this peace and have all the riches of life in You. Thank You for their daily quiet times with You and Your Word. May they always lay up Your Word in their hearts. Thank You for the delight that they find in You and the delight that you find in them. Thank You for hearing their prayers and helping them in their ministry. May your light always shine on their ways. Amen.

A Prayer By Liv Hicks
Father, Thank You for the Mudges dedication to You and to serving You in Peru. Help the students to be learning what You want them to learn, help them to see Your big picture, love, forgiveness, hope. Make Christ real for each one of them. Thank You for Lydia's birth, bless her, encourage her, and help her to grow in grace and love and to reflect You to those she is around. Encourage this family, renew their walk with You daily. Protect and provide for this family. In Christ we pray. Amen
