Peace on Earth

"Glory to God in the highest and on earth, peace and good will toward men."
~ Luke 2:14

Prayer Requests:
~ Pray that the girls find a sense of peace with God.
~ Please continue to pray for everyone's health; we are definitely seeing the girls get past the colds and flu.
~ Pray for the girls to feel God's love for them as they think about the time they will be home with their families for Christmas.


Praise Reports:
~ With all the area schools closed on Wednesday due to the snow, the girls who live at Agape Home came up through the tunnel to school with smiles on their faces! Kelly noted that they worked hard that morning, too.
~ The staff and volunteers who were able to come to school on a snow day are appreciated by all (and now that the girls know that Kelly has 4-wheel drive, snow days are a thing of the past)!
~ We are so grateful to the company that takes care of our snow removal - what a job!
~ The girls at Agape School continue to press in to God and persevere to overcome the obstacles that have held them back in the past.
- One of our students recently said "It really does feel good to do what you are supposed to do." How awesome is that? God is so good!
~ We are very grateful for all of the volunteers and staff who stepped in to fill Kelly's position while she was away last week, and quite proud of the amazing reports we have heard about how well the girls did while she was gone.
~ Praise God for all of the food that was donated to the 8th Anual WSLD Freezing for Food Campaign and distributed to area food pantries, as well as Agape House.


Renovation Update:
~ Now that the drywall work is progressing, and the kitchen cabinets are being worked on, the next major phase will be purchasing appliances. If you would like to contribute in any way towards the expense for the commercial-grade appliances we'll need to meet our code requirements, we would love to hear from you. We'll need (2) refrigerators and dishwashers, a microwave, and a 6-burner stove.


Wish List:
~ Fresh fruit and vegetables
~ Chicken and Beef


"And let us rejoice and exult in our hope of experiencing and enjoying the glory of God. Moreover let us exult and triumph in our troubles and rejoice in our sufferings knowing that pressure and affliction and hardship produce patient and unswerving endurance. And endurance develops maturity of character. And character produces joyful and confident hope of eternal salvation. Such hope never disappoints or deludes or shames us, for God's love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit Who has been given to us."
~ Romans 5:2b-5
