WHAT A WEEK !






Last Friday, we celebrated Valentine's Day with an event that included gifts for the girls from Jesus, and a "spa day" provided by Sheila Osborne, a spa and relaxation specialist. This is her second year ministering to the Agape Girls and she has really blessed each of them.






At Thursday night worship, we had an awesome time of worship, culminating with two girls committing their lives to Christ. What was most exciting was that one of them was lead to the Lord by another Agape girl, who just gave her life to Christ back in October ! It is so exciting to see God moving mightily in these girls lives; seeing them ministering to each other.







So on Friday, we had a "Celebration" party to honor the two new creations in Christ !



And our teacher, Kelly, had to show the girls how it's done...old school ! : )


We are blown away by the power of our God to changes lives at Agape. We are excited to see what He is doing and we are honored to be called to share that work to the surrounding communities.


Today, we travelled to Calvary Community Church to share with the Prime Timers group there. What a wonderful and benevolent group of believers; they shared lunch with the girls, and then the girls shared testimonies and special music under the direction of the music pastor Tom Hilker. We were blessed by the company and the generosity of those who were there.




Prayer Requests: Good health for all of the girls (spiritual, emotional and physical)
Needs: Stamps, Photo Paper for occasional pictures we print out, Garbage Bags, Sanitary Products for the girls, and Toilet Paper
Also, please pray if the Lord would have you support Agape House financially. At this time of year, giving is typically lower and with the current economic climate we are also seeing a crunch.
If you would like a resource to share with individuals, we have a letter, called the Circle of Love which references the ministry here, and includes a testimony from a girl who lives in the home, and also includes a donation insert. You can contact the office at 262-275-6466 and we will send those out for you, or you can make arrangements to pick up copies of the mailing. BLESSINGS !
