Reaping the Harvest . . .

“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up”. Galatians 6:9

Fall is such a beautiful time of the year where we see the Glory of God’s creation as we prepare for the changing of the seasons. Agape House is keeping busy with a variety of activities this Fall, and it is such a blessing to get out and speak to people who have heard about what God is doing here, or who have never heard of Agape House, but are so glad they know about us now. God is so good, and His timing is always amazing!

JOYS:
We were recently blessed with the good news about one of our past students. She wasn’t at Agape School very long, but we could clearly see the gifts God has blessed her with. She is now at the Challenge Academy, and doing very well!

It is such a joy to get to know our faithful volunteers at Agape House and School, and see their willingness to give and serve here. They take time out of their busy lives to tutor, mentor, prepare and serve meals, clean, assist in the office, help with renovation projects, upgrade our computers, teach extra curricular classes . . . the list goes on and on – what a blessing!

Accelerated Christian Education (A.C.E.) is celebrating 40 years of ministry; and we are so grateful we are able to utilize their curriculum at Agape School. It is an educational program that offers individualized learning, as well as Christian character growth.

CONCERNS:
Please pray for one of our Agape girls who needs a reminder that God loves her right where she is at, and that she can do all things through Christ, and that she does not need to succumb to the beliefs of the secular world. Rather, pray that she will remember that she has been transformed by the renewal of her mind, and that she just needs to stand firm on her beliefs.

Please also pray for all of those who have left Agape; pray that they are willing to walk on water, knowing that Jesus is reaching out to them if they will just take hold of what He offers. “For the time being no discipline brings joy, but seems grievous and painful; but afterwards it yields a peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it [a harvest of fruit which consists in righteousness – in conformity to God’s will in purpose, thought and action, resulting in right living and right standing with God.] Hebrews 12:11

Upcoming Bible Study – Liz King will be teaching about the new covenant, The Grace Walk Experience (by Steve McVey) beginning Saturday, the 18th of October. If you are interested in participating and would like more details, please contact Jan at (262) 275-6466 or via e-mail at agape7@pensys.com.

How can you help? Do you love working with pictures and putting them together to create memories? We would love to have someone come alongside our girls to oversee the putting together of our year book in a format on the computer that can be sent off to the printers towards the end of the year. We envision someone coming to meet with a group on a monthly basis as they gather together pictures from all that is going on here at Agape House. Please contact Pam or Jan at (262) 275-6466 if God is leading you to share your gifts in this way.

Enjoy this season of reaping, giving praise and glory to God!
