MARCH 2012 The death of 17- year old teenager Trayvon Martin in Sanford Our prayers, support and encouragement go out to the parents of Trayvon and all the families that have been impacted by this tragic event in our community here in Sanford, Florida. Well not God, the Judge of the earth do what is right? (Gen.18:25d) We pray for wisdom and guidance for all the leaders and public officials involved and that the Lord will bring about a peaceful manifestation of justice in this situation. Remember, Sanford is called “The Friendly City”, so may authentic friendships and unity be forged through this tragedy. April 2012 Paul Benjamin Sr. and a team of local Sanford pastors speak at a national press conference. Paul and a few other pastors and community leaders were asked by the City Commissioners and the Justice Department to help facilitate peace keeping meetings in order to help bring healing and reconciliation in the City.

Paul, who also served on the local leadership team for Promise Keepers was asked to invite pastors from Sanford to attend the Saturday Evening PK event. The President of PK, Dr. Washington, invited Paul and all the pastors on stage and asked all the men to stand with him and pray a blessing over the call and mandate for such a time as this. May 2012 Paul was asked to pray for our nation at the local national day of prayer held on May 3, 2012 at the Memorial Park in Sanford. Pastors and local community leaders gathered to pray for our community, nation and world. The Jewish Rabbi in our City prayed a special blessing for our leaders and City.
