God of Hope

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13


Prayer Requests:

~ Pray that the girls are filled with the joy and peace as they come to trust in Him!
~ Please pray for the girls and their sleeping difficulties. Several students are dealing with nightmares, and the interrupted sleep is taking a toll on their attentiveness during school. Pray that they are not confused; rather, that they go to God for their strength, their peace and their hope knowing He can do all things.
~ Pray for the strength of the staff to endure. The girls have been testing lots! Pray that we speak the truth in love, hold them accountable and love unconditionally. So many of the girls are dealing with authority issues and take any kind of encouragement as a personal attack. Pray that in love we can redirect their thoughts.
~ Pray that the girls realize that God sets people in authority to help, guide, lead, and direct. Authority is not to harm but to protect, encourage, guard, and lead in love.
~ Pray for our financial status at Agape, as our funds are depleted – we are going from week to week, trusting God to provide for ALL of our needs.


Praise Reports:
~ A new student has joined our family at Agape; Masha is making the adjustment quite quickly and works hard each day to complete goals.
~ One of our students is attending all day. This is a major blessing of trust and also a leap of faith for this precious child.
~ For all the food, prepared, donated and given in love to provide for our health and well-being.
~ For all the people entering Agape each day, that the ministry is made known throughout the area and the need for such a school as this.
~ For the gentleman that prays for Agape House each time he passes on Highway 14; the encouragement of knowing that people are praying for all of us is a blessing.
~ For perseverance to finish strong in the last month of school; several girls are reaching their goals and are encouraged by the progress being made. Setting goals each day and meeting them weekly is an eye-opening experience for many.
~ For the exercise equipment that has been donated for our use; this is great for the girls when the weather prevents us from going outside for our daily walk - praise God!!!!


Wish List:
Please continue providing these healthy snacks for the girls; they have been such a blessing!
~ Fresh Fruit
~ Fresh Vegetables
~ Snack Crackers, such as Cheese-Its, Wheat Thins, etc.
~ Almonds or other nuts (NO PEANUTS)
~ String Cheese
