Agape House 10th Anniversary Celebration





I cannot put into words the awesome ability of our God to completely amaze me. Many months of planning and preparation went into this event, from the original concept coming to Bev Kummer through prayer, to the Board approval, to the women such as Claudine Wells, Janette Maxwell, and Phyllis Kenney who contacted area restaurants to get them to donate the wonderful food we sampled.




We enjoyed an awesome evening of testimony's of God's faithfulness to Agape House over the past 10 years, as we look forward to our future.
