My good friend Eddie Boodoo is rejoicing in heaven now with our Lord Jesus Christ, after being with us on this planet for 74 years. Eddie was the husband of Narda, father of Travis and Janal. He passed on to glory on Saturday, Jan. 11, 2020, in Pineville, North Carolina. Now he is dancing with our Lord Jesus!

Eddie and I worked together at Franklin Graham’s Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Shoebox in Charlotte, NC and he also attended Antioch International Church in Fort Mill, SC.

A few days before he passed on to be with Jesus, I was visiting him in the Pineville, NC hospital. On a prior visit, the Lord told me to read Eddie a word from Scripture. I didn’t. So when I was there the next time and He told me to read Eddie Scripture, not knowing that he would be with the Lord in a few days, I obeyed and read him Psalm 23. Eddie nodded in agreement and spoke along as much as he could.

All of us were believing for healing after his heart attack and stroke a few months ago. The Lord did answer our prayers. He is completely healed now with Jesus in heaven!

We give thanks for the years we had with our friend and brother-in-the-Lord, Eddie Boodoo. When I join him also in heaven, we’ll talk about our times on the shoebox line at Samaritan’s Purse and a few other things we shared together in this life. Eternity will give us plenty of time.

Save a seat at the table for me, Eddie!

Ahava and Shalom,

Steve Martin, Love For His People
