Help us share the miracles . . .



~ Help us share what God is doing here at Agape House by inviting your family and friends to Barn-Load of Fun! This will be a night of information, testimonies, food, dancing and fun (yes, in a barn)! The event takes place on November 7th, from 7 to 10 p.m., at the Seth Hansen Farm at W2644 Loveland Road, Elkhorn (between Bowers Road and Hwy. 120). The cost is $10 per person; please call 262-275-6466 or e-mail agape7@pensys.com to make reservations; payment will be collected at the door.


Praise Reports:
~ We received a donation of a pork (a whole pig) from Sorg’s Meat Packing Plant

~ Watching the girls talk to one another is beautiful. Even in conflict the girls are learning to speak the truth in love, expressing themselves, and listening to their classmates. Communication is improving.

~ The girls were so appreciative of the field trip to Royal Oak Farm Orchard. The tour guides were very informative, the wonder of God's creation awesome, the fellowship in sharing all the delights of His handiwork - breathtaking. "Taste and see that the Lord is good." Psalm 34:8a

The girls were treated to a hayride around the orchard where they each were able to pick a pumpkin and an apple. In addition, they learned some interesting facts about the orchard. For example, did you know that you can tell how many bees pollinated an apple by counting the number of seeds it has? The girls also enjoyed the Petting Zoo and the Play Area, like little children (see picture above) – what a delight to watch!

“But Jesus called the children to him and said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." Luke 18:16-17


Prayer Requests:
~ Pray for new students as the Lord prepares each child for a new school environment, as well as all the teachers, and especially our girls so that they welcome each new student to Agape School.

Wish List:
~ Non-perishable food items for the Home
~ Musical Instruments – Do you have a gently used saxophone for one of our girls that is musically gifted and would like to continue her study of this instrument?


Ways you can Help:
~ One of our students is musically gifted and would love to continue her study of the
saxophone. If anyone has instruments that are no longer being used, please consider donating them to Agape.

~ If you are interested in helping in any way with the renovation project, please let us know. We are still in need of finances for materials, appliances and furniture.
