Light of Dawn – Perfect Day

“The path of the righteous is like the light of dawn; that shines brighter and clearer until it reaches its full strength and glory in the perfect day.” Proverbs 4:18

Prayer Requests:
~ Pray that the girls recognize the gift of righteousness we have received, and through the light of dawn we can reach our perfect day!
~ Pray for the staff to have a productive summer of scheduling and planning for our fourth academic year at Agape School.
~ Pray for patience for the girls to make the most of the hours in summer school as they continue with their academic studies and completion of goals for the school year, and that they will see the blessings of their endurance.
~ Pray for all of the girls from Agape as they make choices this summer; that they remember that God is with them as they learn, grow and discern in daily discoveries and opportunities.
~ Pray for the completion of the final renovation phase of the Sanctuary this summer, including the funding and labor needed to complete this awesome project before us, as well as discernment as to how to proceed to the completion line.
~ Pray for the much needed rest and recuperation of staff, volunteers and students after a fulfilling school year.

Praise Reports:
~ Praise God for the gift of a camping and water rafting trip sponsored by Phantom Ranch in Mukwonago; the girls had a fabulous time!!! Words they used to describe this event were: peaceful; exciting; fun; and scary, but I would do it again.
~ Praise God for the faithful volunteers and staff who work with the girls at Agape.
~ Praise God for a volunteer pursuing donations to purchase and install the fireplace for the renovated living quarters!
~ Praise God for ALL of the faithful supporters in ALL areas of the ministry at Agape.
