Value Others Above Yourself

“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.” Philippians 2:3

Prayer Requests:
~ Pray for our Agape Angels to understand the joy of giving of themselves and valuing others above themselves.

Pray for them to draw close to God, to know His strength, His wisdom, His discernment, His comfort, and His peace, every day, every step of the way. Pray for them to desire His victory!

~ Pray for the financial support to continue to come in during the summer months, as our financial obligations continue to need to be met to keep this ministry open.

~ Pray for blessings to pour forth for all of the staff and volunteers giving of their time freely this summer to participate in training in preparation for Fall classes and counseling.
