The prayer requests from this week's Love in Action feeding are included below. This week someone wrapped two dollar bills inside a prayer request slip and placed them in the bag with the prayers. These offerings have been occurring more and more regularly, and it is humbling ....
Last Thursday, our good friend Carl Thomas "Tommy" Farley died. Tommy was known as Bunkie to his family, and he died of throat cancer at age 62 at Broward General Hospital. Tommy worked the front door for us on Thursdays, and in his earlier life in NYC in the '70s, he cut hair for a variety of celebrities. He cut hair for us, too, when we needed him — in addition to playing the piano and getting us to sing along. I included a photo of him from the days before the streets, when he was still a stickball champion and a pool shark. The little boy in this picture is "Bunkie's" nephew, also named Tom, who back then called his uncle "Uncle Monkey." We thank God for Tommy's life and for his friendship, and pray that he is at peace now and out of pain.
Thank you for praying for this ministry! These beautiful people often live lives on the margins and in the gaps. But God has no margins! In fact, He knows the number of hairs on their heads. He knows the number on yours and mine, too.
Blessings,
Erika
Carl Thomas Farley, 1947 - 2010
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. Matthew 10:29-31
