He is the Faithful God

The girls had a great time last week in cooking class – they each got to decorate their very own cake! Their creativity was fun to watch, and the end results were beautiful (and yummy)!


Prayer Requests:

~ Pray for the girls to “Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; He is the faithful God, keeping His covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commands.” Deuteronomy 7:9

~ Pray for each of the girls at Agape School and their faith walk. We praise our Savior for His indescribable gift of loving us.

~ Please continue to pray for one of our students struggling with being here all day.

~ Please pray for the girls to make their very best effort next week, as they are counting the days until they are off for Spring Break!

~ Pray for one of the students who left our program to go back to public school, that she always remember who she is in Christ.

~ Pray for the spiritual, emotional and physical well being of the staff, and that they continue to be filled with wisdom and discernment (and energy), as they walk in love beside those who come through the doors at Agape each and every day.

“Thank you, Lord, that You give me all the strength and ability that I need in order to do what You have called me to do.” I Timothy 1:12

~ Pray for the girls continued progress, and that their eyes are opened to live their life to its fullest in Christ.

“Thank you, Jesus, that You will ease and refresh my soul when I am weary and that You will cause me to rest. Thank You that Your yoke is not harsh, hard, sharp or pressing, but comfortable, gracious and pleasant and that Your burden is light and easy to bear.” Matthew 11:28-30
