Joyful Hope

"Let your hope keep you joyful, be patient in your troubles, and pray at all times." Romans 12:12

Prayer Requests
~ Please pray for the girls that they know the joyful hope of our Savior; patience in troubled times; and that they are able to turn to you in prayer at all times.

~ Pray for the staff and their health issues, and that all staff members are restored to health.

~ Pray for our Agape Angels to draw closer to God each and every day, as they trust in, lean on and rely on Him for ALL their needs.

~ Pray for the completion of the new living quarters by Christmas, so that these girls can have a home to live in, rather than just using the gym continually.

~ Pray for restoration of the girls and their family lives; not only for the girls who are currently at Agape, but also for all those who have come through our program.


Praise Reports:
~ For an amazing night at the Trifecta. One of our students spoke of the difficulties in her life, as well as the changes in her life since attending Agape. Praise God for His faithfulness and the beauty of watching a young life grow in Him. She is an extraordinary example of new life in Christ. We thank God for the privilege of listening to her testimony and the hearts that were touched by her story.

~ For an incredible staff of faithful servants; and for their willingness to meet the girls exactly where they are and loving them regardless.

~ For the first year of participation in the Walworth County Arts Council and the learning through these phenomenal artists. We look forward to presenting a new artist each month and for the girls' learning about these famous works of art.
