Other Specific Needs

As many of you know, Revs. Shaw and Julie Mudge and Rev. Ian and Polly Montgomery are preparing to come to Peru as long-term missionaries to teach in the seminary. To do so, they have to raise prayer and financial support, so they are travelling the country visiting various churches. If you live in northeastern USA, chances are good that they will be coming soon to a parish near you! Click here to see their travel schedule and for more information about their minstries.
