Holiday Happenings


I love this photo I found on the web. What an awesome representation of the birth of a child, Jesus - who is the Light of the world !
Thank you for your faithfulness in prayers and support.

School prayer requests:

We are looking for people who can help with this between 8 and 10 a.m. They would listen to the students read for 15 to 30 minutes per child, ask questions to make sure they are understanding what they are reading; correct them as necessary, etc. We also will want some people who can oversee their Readmaster program on the computer.

We have welcomed our 10th student to Agape School; and we now have five girls residing in the dorm. Thank you to those have contacted us asking to help out for the holidays. We do have wish lists for the School, the Teen Home, and the Transitional Home, as well as a list of food items, for those of you who participate in food drives.

This year, we were again blessed by WSLD, Kunes Country Ford, and the Generac Corp. in their "Freein' for Food" drive. We also received a donation of beef from an individual who attended the Jazz Event hosted by the Lewis family in Fontana.

We are so blessed, as many of you are ministering out of your need, and trusting God and His economy. Those who give generously at this time of year enable us not only bless the girls for Christmas, but to meet our monthly expenses and payroll; which includes those winter heat bills ! God is so good. : )

It is truly a pleasure to hear from those of you who call, and also those of you who stop at the Home. It is a blessing to see God drawing from all areas of Walworth County, to be a part of the ministry of Agape House. If your church, civic group, or organization isn't already involved and you would like to be, please contact us at the office 262-275-6466. There are many ways to be a blessing to the ministries of Agape House ! Our biggest areas of ministry are the Agape School for Girls and the Teen Home, but we are also still ministering through the Transitional Living Home, our Mentoring Program, our Counseling Program, our bible studies and through weekly prayer. We also financial counseling and a support group for parents. YOU are a vital part of those ministries through your prayer and financial giving.

God bless !
