Prayer Requests 6/13/13
From the Sun-Sentinel on 6/14/13:
Two worlds tragically collided in a dark parking lot when a pair of homeless men were killed by an out-of-control luxury car driven by a young woman who police suspect was impaired.
At the wheel of her mother's 2012 Porsche Panamera early Thursday was Alyza Rachel Russell, 22, of Fort Lauderdale, officials said. Sitting near the corner talking were two friends, only known on the street as Zo and Slim.
Police Friday identified the two homeless men as Mackendy Jules, 30 and Samuel Artez Martindale, 35, both of Fort Lauderdale. On the street, Jules was known as Zo and Martindale was known as Slim.
The sound of screeching tires moments before the crash awakened witness Randy Trammell, asleep on his bed of cardboard in the West Broward Boulevard parking lot.
Trammell, a onetime cabinet installer who has been homeless for a year, said that Zo was a native of Haiti, about 30 years old, who had a wife and two children. He was one of the 10 or 15 regulars who slept in the parking lot nightly.
"He was a good guy," Trammell said Thursday afternoon as he searched in vain through Zo's suitcase, stashed in bushes nearby, for any papers that might indicate his full name.
Trammell said he didn't know Slim, also about 30 years old, as well as Zo.
…
When I read this news story, I recognized the name Mackendy Jules immediately. Some of you may recognize it, too. Because we've been praying for Mackendy by name for the past two years and as recently as a month ago. Both he and Samuel ate with us regularly on Thursdays. Every one of Mackendy's prayers was for a job.
8/25/11:
-- Mackendy J.: Please God, I need jobs.
11/10/11:
-- Please pray for Mackendy J. I need a job. God bless me.
5/9/13:
-- Mackendy J.: Please, I need a job.
There were many like that.
Praying for people by name and need is such an intimate thing. But knowing that Mackendy and Samuel are gone underscores all the things we don't know about them, their families, their lives. Even their close friends didn't know their full names. All we have left are little slips of paper with scribbled prayers.
The longer you're connected to the chronically homeless population, the longer your list of names grows. Nina. Leon. Scott. Kevin. Tommy. You'll read that someone drowned or was hit by a car or was found dead under an overpass and you'll wonder if you knew them.
What I come back to time and time again is how well God knows each of us. There are no anonymous people, no unknown identities, no unheard prayers. He knows and values us, not because of who we are but because of who He is.
Please keep the families and friends of Mackendy and Samuel in your prayers. Please pray for Ms. Russell, too. Her name is also known by our Father. Pray for all those in need, whether we know their names or not.
I thank you for being such an important part of this ministry. The prayer requests are below.
Blessings,
Erika

-- Darryl & Nicky: Pray for our living situation to become better.
-- Heavenly Father, here is your humble children, Willie Lewis M. and Erma Jeannette M.W., that you bless us with jobs, finances and a home and we refuse to let satan pull us down any further.
-- Pray for Brieanna, Rodney B. and our kids to be very safe and a happy family. Pray for Rodney to see what he has in front of him and his release to be a better person for himself, then last is me. I love him as I love everyone in my life.
-- Thank you for your grace, Father, thank you for your faithfulness. Thank you for Dee and her friends who helped me get my clothes back. Father, I know you created me nude, but can I keep one piece of clothes to at least keep me a bit warmer. Lord, the reason I ask you for a financial blessing is so I can get me from where I am to where I should be, I need to get a place. I went to look today and I'll need a blessing before the end of this month, if it be your will. Lord, bless Harry for complete restoration, bless the family in what needs they have, thank you for your precious touch on him. May Lauren and Randy be safe and warm and out of harm's way. May the inspection of this apartment for me pass right now and thank you for the favor of God on me for these blessings, also bless Fernando and his wife without any arguments, bless Perry and Mr. Tim. Thank you, Lord.
-- Thank you, Lord, for the continued healing of Harry's body. Bless his physicians with wisdom and insight. Make Harry strong and whole.
-- Lord, please heal Kathy's heart. Strengthen her body. Cure her from all illness.
-- For Dave's killer to be found, brought to justice, and made whole. For Detective Torres not to give up.
-- For Bianca and her family.
-- For Lennox, Wolf, Smitty, L.C., Jamalle, Tino, Richard, Kevin, Lori, Kayla and Lorenzo, Lou, Jon K., April, Erika, Pery, Debbie, Sister Pat, Gypsy.
-- For Wendy, Peanut, Shy’ann & Kamaurry
-- For Charlotte, Ed, Jacques, Robert, Brad, Lance, Kelly, Shante, Shamona, Randy, Richie, Roger, Scott, Tony, Keith, Gary, Steve, Dennis, Brieanna, Carl, Rocky, Red, Johnny, Angel, Brian.
-- For neglected and abused animals and their caregivers. For Nina.
-- For all of LIA's volunteers; help us be quick to listen, slow to speak.
