Joy – Complete and Overflowing

“I have told you these things, that My joy and delight may be in you, and that your joy and gladness may be of full measure and complete and overflowing.” John 15:11

Prayer Requests
~ For the girls to know that God desires us to be filled with His overflowing joy!

~ For all the girls at Agape School. We have welcomed several new students to our program, and we ask that faithful prayer warriors lift up all of the girls in prayer.

~ For our staff and everyone involved with planting seeds at Agape.

~ For health and renewed energy this season. Several girls and staff/volunteer members are battling colds and the flu. We pray for health to be restored to all, including those who are on a longer-term track.

~ For the anxiety to be alleviated in all of the girls. Holidays are extremely stressful for the girls, anticipation and stress take a toll. Please pray that everyone goes to Him "Cast all your anxieties on Him because He cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7

~ For patience with all. When we bring in new students, we always have a period of adjustment. A wonderful comparison would be to bringing a new baby home to siblings. We see a honeymoon period for a varying degree of time, but the adjustment process is unique and individual in each child's experience at Agape.

~ For a Friday tutor to work with the girls in the morning before leaving for our scheduled events.


Praise Reports:
~ For the joy of the Christmas season.

~ For a new math tutor. Praise God for godly men, ready to serve and be a good example to our girls. We look forward to a wonderful experience of working with our angels.

~ For the generosity and kindness of each and every person who serves lunch at the school, as well as the occasional meal for the evening in the Home.

~ For our faithful staff and volunteers, and their remarkable gifts of love, faith and perseverance.

~ For the progress being made in the renovation project.

~ For our servant event at VIP. Our girls played games, and worked alongside the workers at Vocational Industries, sharing God's love His way. We watched the girls shower the special needs adults with plenty of love, time and effort. All of the girls were amazing, and I pray that several of the girls realize their ‘giftings’ in this area of serving our Lord. It was an extraordinary day!!!! Praise God for safe travel
