God's got His Hand on you . . .

Those are tears of ‘LOVE’ you see on Hailey’s face in the picture above – love for our Lord, as well as the group that surrounded her that day! We gathered together last week at Agape House to pray for Hailey Burger, our first student at Agape School. Hailey was accepted into the YWAM program, and she departed for Florida last Thursday to begin a new journey in life.

Hailey was a pre-mature baby with significant health problems, including a mild case of cerebral palsy. When she came to Agape School, she had been failing in the public school. In fact, they considered her to be a special education student. Once she began the program we offer at Agape School, Hailey began getting A’s and B’s very quickly! God has gifted her with a love for children and people with special needs, and she has always dreamed of being a missionary. Now that she is at YWAM, she can begin the process of actually fulfilling her purpose in Christ!

“With all the lost and lonely people, Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me, Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?” Hailey sang this song, ‘Does Anybody Hear Her By Casting Crowns’ quite often at the different events she took part in at Agape School, and we pray that she continues to search for our Lord and the Hope that he gives us, while reaching out to other lost and lonely people.

Please keep Hailey in your prayers; and we look forward to seeing her come back to visit us at Agape to share what God is doing in her life.


Praise Reports:

- Tina Dillman donated the Scientific Calculator we needed

- Huge praise report for the girls' work at VIP; we went there last Friday to wash wheel chairs for their clients. It was beautiful to watch the girls work tirelessly to help where needed and to also become friends with the people at VIP. I was honored to work with the girls on this project. It was an awesome day and a wonderful memory. Kelly Stech, Teacher

- I would like to thank everyone for the wonderful donations of fresh garden produce. This is something I had prayed so much about! Also, a big thank you for the donation that has allowed me to purchase items from my grocery wish list! I do appreciate everything that is donated to the kitchen for me to use in my meal preparation, but it is also very nice to be able to purchase the things I really “desire” to make our meals a bit “extra special”. Again thank you for the many blessings. Becky Lambiris, House Mom
