Prayer Requests 4/26/12

The prayer requests from last Thursday's Love in Action meal are below.

This week, we lost a long-time guest and friend, Scott Mullen. He was only 40 years old. Scott was a sweet, gentle spirit, a loving son, and a kind and loyal buddy to many. His body had suffered over the past several years from melanoma and subsequent infections that robbed him of much of his independence. Through all that, Scott continued seeking the Lord and his Word. My prayer is that Scott is now lovingly enfolded in the arms of our Father. We thank God for Scott's life and for his friendship, and pray that he is at peace now and out of pain.

Please also pray for the Mullen family and for Scott's friend and caregiver Brian. Brian stayed with Scott for the past several months and was at his side throughout his last days and hours in the hospital and in hospice. Now, in addition to grieving Scott's death, Brian is back on the street — jobless and homeless.

Thank you for praying for this ministry and our guests.
Blessings,
Erika

From the Parable of the Lost Son:
So he got up and went to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.
