The Lord is Faithful

“But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.” 2 Thessalonians 3:3

Summer Office Hours for Agape House (Office in the School):
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday - 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., or by appointment

Prayer Requests:
~ Pray that each girl is knowing and believing that God is real and alive in their lives, and that they know He is a faithful God.

~ Pray that each girl knows His presence, and stays connected to God throughout the summer months.

~ Pray that the girls continue to learn to ‘wear the clothes of a Christian’ by how we live, to be an example of love in action, to be witnesses to the hope we have that only comes through Christ; to listen; to be still and take time to contemplate all of our blessings.

~ Pray that the girls can be freed from their captive situations which entangle and burden them, to live freely in His promises, and enjoy the victorious life God intended for each and every one of us.

~ Pray that the girls will pray for all of our friends in Christ.

~ Pray for the Fall school staffing needs to be met. In addition to the usual need for tutors and assistants in the classroom, lunch servers, etc., we are in need of a volunteer to teach our music program. If you know someone who might be interested, please let us know!

~ Pray for the completion of the renovation of the Sanctuary in all the glory that God intends it to be, and that we are able to begin using it in the Fall.

~ Pray for continued financial support of this ministry to meet all of our needs.

~ Pray for the staff and volunteers to have a blessed and relaxing time off so that all are refreshed in the Fall.
