Prayer Mail

Dear Partners in Prayer,
Peace be with you.
This is our weekly public prayer mail.

Thanksgivings:

1) For the great service we had on Friday night at La Ascension. Because of mayoral election law, church services could not be held from 7 am to 4 pm on Sunday.

2) For the great job that students did on their final exams.

3) Praise God for what he does through the three of us, to transform lives.

4) Lydia´s college application is now complete, and we wait for the results.

Prayers:

1) For our relationships, ministries, finances, resources, and priorities.

2) For the AMA retreat coming up next week end (it is, actually, next weekend. Julie is one of the musicians. I will be celebrating at La Ascension, and because of the women´s retreat, it will likely be a service that will be primarily men.

3) For the current administrative needs of the seminary and the Diocese. And for the expansion of the seminary ministry across Peru.

3a) We are part of a team that is developing on-line seminary courses to reach across Peru and across South America.

3b) There are three certificate program plans in various stages of development, including:
i) an Economic and Community Development certificate,
ii) an Anglican Studies certificate, and
iii) a Lay Evangelist certificate.

4) That we would be able to keep on top of all the daily things that we need to do.

5) For the results of Lydia's college application process.

6) 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 noise and dust would not be too disruptive in our lives.

Countdown until the view from our kitchen window almost completely disappears (because of the construction): about five floors to go.

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
