New Year...New birth....


We are excited to announce the arrival of Pam's sixth grand-child, Kaylie Lauren Patterson on December 31st. How awesome to see the evidence of new life...and how awesome it is when we see that same evidence of New Life manifesting in the lives of the girls at Agape.
We now have 11 students, with 6 girls living in the Teen Home. We have a couple more girls in the interview process. Please keep us in your prayers for wisdom to know how to transition, as new girls come into the home. Also, keep the girls from the transitional ministry in your prayers; as well as the individuals and families that we are counseling.
Thank you to ALL of you for your prayer and support throughout 2008. As we look to the new year, we are confident in our God, who is Sovereign over this economy and any other. He so graciously and faithfully provided (through many of you) for us these last 10 years. We are excited to see what He has in store, as we look to the future.
Blessings !
Agape Staff
