Prayer Requests 5/28/15

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

This week we celebrated the college graduation of our beloved former guest (and current volunteer) Tino. He received his degree in Criminal Justice, with his fiancee Nancy, her family, and several of his Love in Action friends in attendance to see him cross the stage. We were all very moved! More than seven years ago, many of us got to know Tino through his prayers for a better life—prayers that were included with these very prayer requests week after week. Now he is employed, housed, engaged, and happily planning for a new career. Tino is living proof of the power of prayer and the importance of what you all are doing when you pray for our guests by name and need. Thanks be to God!

Thank you, Father, for your blessings in Tino's life. Thank you for using us as your hands and feet here on Earth. We love you!

Blessings,
Erika
Tino and Nancy

Most of all, friends, always rejoice in the Lord! I never tire of saying it: Rejoice! Keep your gentle nature so that all people will know what it looks like to walk in His footsteps. The Lord is ever present with us. Don’t be anxious about things; instead, pray. Pray about everything. He longs to hear your requests, so talk to God about your needs and be thankful for what has come. And know that the peace of God (a peace that is beyond any and all of our human understanding) will stand watch over your hearts and minds in Jesus, the Anointed One.
