Prayer Requests 10/29/09
Here are the prayer requests from this week's Love in Action feeding. We had a big group of athletes from American Heritage school with us this week, in addition to our friends from Calvary and our usual volunteers.
It was so wonderful to see such a diverse group of people working together to nourish the bodies and spirits of our guests in Jesus' name!! One of my favorite moments was seeing and hearing all those big, hulking teenage athletes singing "This Little Light of Mine" around the piano before the guests came into the dining room. Their joy was infectious! It was priceless.
Blessings,
Erika

Prayer Requests 10/22/09
Here are the prayer requests from this week's LIA feeding. More people than we expected arrived for dinner this week, possibly due to the colder weather up north. (Perhaps people are heading to South Florida earlier in the season than usual?) I also heard several requests for blankets, as the cold snap earlier in the week got people thinking about preparations for winter.
This got ME thinking about cold weather .... Last weekend I was happy to have the unseasonably cool weather because it gave me a taste of autumn, but for many people it was the first of many long nights spent on cold pavement, benches, or earth. If you are able to provide cold weather items like blankets and coats, please make them available. We'll be sure they get to the people who need them!
Thank you for keeping this ministry and those it serves in your daily prayers.
Blessings,
Erika
