The following is a first-hand account from the event:

Did you see the transformation of the Agape Angels at the Fashion Show/Afternoon Tea on Sunday? This wasn't your ordinary fashion show. Rather, it was an event where you could see God's work as the girls gained confidence in who they are in Christ! This was a first-time experience for them to get up on a runway as a model in front of their friends, peers, and unknown guests. This was also an opportunity for them to worship God with their musical talents as they sang 'You Raise Me Up' while they were all dressed up like the princesses they are. It was also an inspirational time as a couple of the girls shared their testimonials and a song as to how God has truly transformed their lives since coming to Agape School. It is fun to imagine how this event will affect their lives as these girls go forward dreaming about their future.

Thank you hardly seems to be enough to say to all who contributed in so many ways for this event. Everything was beautiful, and the desserts were irresistible!

Agape House wishes to thank Calvary Community Church in Williams Bay, Mary Ann Kahl, Claudine and Larry Wells, Sandy Heinitz, Beverly Kummer, Steve Jensen, Gene Ingersoll, Adwoba Erzumiah for emceeing, the entire Calvary cleaning staff and the families of the Agape girls for helping to make this event a smashing success!
