. . . for those who love Him

“No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9


Praise Reports:

~ Praise God for the fabulous time the girls all had at Tim Stoldt's home last Friday snowmobiling! As you can see in the picture above, they were dressed for the cold weather.

~ Praise for students making it through an entire morning without a blow-up. God is really working in and through the girls to choose ways to express themselves and have themselves heard without exploding. It's beautiful to watch the girls choose their words.

~ Thank you to Shar Schultz for her faithfulness in counting PACE pages each week. Using the completed pages is a wonderful tool in showing the girls all they are accomplishing, along with holding them accountable for their work. God bless you, Shar.

~ Praise God - the classroom is a WORK zone – it is a constant center of activity! The girls are working academically, spiritually, socially, and emotionally each day to help themselves to become all that God created them to be, beautiful, made in His image.

~ Praise for all of our volunteers this week - we have been so blessed that several girls have had one-on-one tutors throughout the week. The girls just thrive with this “special" attention and learn not only the necessary academic skills, but also the vital social skills through communication - awesome!

~ Praise for the privilege of helping a child unlock the door to learning. A child in our program is beginning to read after many faithful tutors have helped with vowel sounds, beginning sounds, etc. This student volunteered to read to the class this week, and was so proud of this newfound skill. One of our other students sat beside and assisted
with the necessary encouragement to sound out difficult words. The entire classroom erupted in applause after our little princess read. Incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Prayer Requests:
~ Pray for students who are no longer at Agape School, as they continue to need to be lifted up for prayer.
~ Pray for good health for all of the staff and students, as someone seems to be off to a doctor appointment almost every day for one thing or another!
~ Pray that the girls continue to be receptive to all that God is working through them!


Wish List:
~ Praise for the iron-rich foods donated this week; please continue to bring them in – the girls enjoy learning what they can do to help themselves!

Food items rich in iron, as several of the girls need more iron in their diets:
• Napkins
• Paper Plates
• Toilet Paper
• Spaghetti Sauce
• Chicken
• Sesame Seeds
• Apricots
• Almonds
• Bran Flakes
• Special K Cereal
• Licorice

Renovation Update:
~ The renovation work continues; and we are so grateful for Russ Jackson, who spent the month of January here. We are also grateful for Hal Patterson, Bill Smith and John Morrison who have been diligently progressing with painting. The 24-foot ladder is a daunting climb to paint the upper walls of this space!

Have a blessed week!
