I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you. I said, ‘You are my servant’; I have chosen you and have not rejected you.

The prayer requests from this week's Love in Action feeding are below. Thank you for keeping this ministry and its guests in your prayers.

This week, a long-time guest of this ministry died. We knew him as Leon Williams, but he also went by the name "Frog." Maybe you recall his prayers; we prayed for him many times over the years, often for his appetite to improve. Unfortunately, Leon's death didn't come as a surprise to those who cared about him—he'd been sick for a long time and wasn't able to take care of his health—but as the news of his passing spread by word-of-mouth, his friends cried.

Leon had been a light welterweight boxer in the late 1970s and early '80s, and he still moved like a boxer, very quick on his feet. When you saw him on Broward Boulevard, he was usually carrying 3 or 4 bags and was always in a hurry. He was loud and funny, with nicknames for everyone .... "Britney Spears," "Dolly Parton." He was even louder when he had his headphones on and tried to talk over his music :) Last night his friend Tony told me, "Frog had a 140-pound body and an 800-pound mouth!" Very true.

According to Tony, Leon didn't have any family to speak of. His death will not appear in the newspaper. There will not be an obituary or a funeral. Last night and today, I've spent a lot of time thinking about Leon, wishing to honor his life and mark his passing. Leon mattered to God, and he matters to us.

Please pray for Leon, and all the other "Leons" who died on the streets this week without any fanfare. Pray for Leon's friends and those who loved him. And pray that Leon's death will cause us to reach out for God in the midst of the senseless suffering here on earth. When we reach out, we will find God there.

Blessings,

Erika

The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else .... God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.

Prayer Requests 8/11/11

The prayer requests from this week's Love in Action feeding are below. Thank you for praying for this ministry and its guests.

We were worried the Thursday night Dave didn't arrive at the Love in Action feeding with the truck full of meatloaf. We didn't know it at the time, but we would never see our friend Dave Montney again. The next day, Friday, August 13th, 2010, Dave was discovered dead in his apartment in Pompano Beach — the victim of a brutal murder.

This week marks one year since he was killed, and to date no one has been charged.

Every week we pray for Dave's murderer to be found, but this week I ask you to please view the video of the man suspected of murdering Dave: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vNO0gPm-5s. Please forward this to your contacts in South Florida.

Someone knows this man. He abandoned Dave's car by St. Lawrence Chapel in Pompano Beach. He tried to use Dave's ATM card at a Walgreens in Deerfield Beach. You can view more information about the case, as well as sketches and photos of the suspect, on the Broward Sheriff's Office website: http://sheriff.org/about_bso/admin/media/newsdetails.cfm?pk=3168&sType=M#

Dave's murder is totally senseless. We often feel so helpless in the face of this kind of evil. But evil does not have the last word.

“For my people have been taken away for nothing, and those who rule them mock,” declares the LORD. “And all day long my name is constantly blasphemed. Therefore my people will know my name; therefore in that day they will know that it is I who foretold it. Yes, it is I.”

How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!”

Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices; together they shout for joy. When the LORD returns to Zion, they will see it with their own eyes. Burst into songs of joy together, you ruins of Jerusalem, for the LORD has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem. The LORD will lay bare his holy arm in the sight of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.

Isaiah 52:5-10
