Compassion and Forgiveness

“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” Ephesians 4:32

Praise Reports:

~ After an especially difficult week, one child wrote and spoke an apology. This child realized her behavior was unacceptable after speaking with an adult and venting. She wanted to express a sincere regret for acting poorly, especially with not having all the information. Forgiveness is a gift and it was showered upon this child. God is so good to allow us to be able to witness changes in these angels with newfound enlightenment!

~ For many of the girls' academic perseverance amidst the warm temperatures and the end of the school year. Praise God for their efforts to finish strong and use their gifts to complete the year positively.

~ For the continued faithfulness of the staff and the love they give to all of the girls.


Prayer Requests:

“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful.” Psalm 139:14

~ Pray that the girls understand how fearfully and wonderfully made they are by God;

~ Pray for the patience of Job to finish the school year with the abundant love and joy that we receive through His grace.

~ Pray for the girls that need to attend summer school in order to continue with their academic progress, and please pray that they will make the right choice and attend with a willing heart.

~ Pray for all of the Agape girls, both in the program now and those that have gone through our program. We pray for their continued growth in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior. Seeds have been planted and we ask that we trust that God has each child where they are to be.

~ Pray for the blessing of financial support necessary to continue with this ministry.

“You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” Psalm 23:5-6
