Abounding Love

“And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ – to the glory and praise of God.” Philippians 1:9-11

Prayer Requests:
~ Pray that all the girls’ love may abound . . . to the glory and praise of God.

~ Pray that during the 2010-2011 academic year, all the girls meet their goals and realize the gifts that God has showered upon them.

~ Pray for all of the Agape Angels that have gone on to pursue their dreams after completing or participating in our program, that those girls remember that God will never leave them; He is with them wherever they go and whatever they do.

~ Pray that we prepare ourselves for each new student as they begin our program.

~ Pray for patience, understanding, wisdom and discernment for each individual student, and the importance of sharing God’s love His way.

~ Pray for the upcoming Trifecta Golf Challenge as follows:

• Golfers to attend and a beautiful days' weather for the event
• Pray for the dinner, as well as the silent and live auctions to be well-attended and successful
• Pray for the families that are ministered to by these 3 organizations: Agape House and School; Atlas; and Army of One.
If any of you have any questions, or may be interested in golfing or attending the dinner this year, please do not hesitate to contact Jennifer Myers at Geneva National at 262-245-7041 or via e-mail: jmeyers@gnresort.com.
