His Path, Truth and Faithfulness

“Show me Your ways, O Lord, teach me Your paths. Guide me in Your truth and faithfulness and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; for You do I wait all the day long.” ~ Psalm 25:4-5

Prayer Requests:
~ Pray that our Agape Angels come to understand the joy of learning God’s ways, and how they can let Him guide them throughout their day.

~ That our girls take time to get to know one another.

~ For God to continue to bring the volunteers to Agape that we need to keep this ministry going; we could not do His work without our volunteers.

~ For girls continuing to adjust to living in the Home.

~ For those who need to be here, yet it is just not possible for various reasons.


Praise Reports:
~ For the donation of fresh fruit and salads left over from various events this past week, including a brunch and a picnic.

~ For our girls who are working hard in the classroom.

~ For everyone getting settled into the routine of the new school year, especially as we all adjust to some changes.

~ For a volunteer who will probably be able to help with our gym class all year long!

~ For the joy of working with animals! Last Friday the girls were able to visit the home of an Agape friend who has horses, dogs and cats, and help tend to their needs.


Praise Report/Prayer Request
~ For the joy that nobody was harmed last Friday in the early hours of the morning when one of our dryers had a fire in it! Everyone responded beautifully as needed, and all were safe (although everyone had to sit outside for an hour or so until the fire department gave them the all clear - it was a short night of sleeping for many). However, we have a prayer request for (2) new stackable washers and dryers. We have greatly appreciated the donation of used appliances, but they do get a lot of wear and tear in the Home. And they have been requiring lots of maintenance. We are now down to (1) dryer, and still having problems with it. We are praying for donations to purchase these (2) new sets of stackable washers and dryers - if you feel led to donate towards this need, please indicate in the Memo line of your check: Washer and Dryer. Thank you.

Fresh Produce: Veggies and Fruits
Snacks, i.e., almonds, peanuts, dried fruit, granola bars, crackers
Cream Cheese

Gas Cards to take the girls to various events in the van

Ways to Help at this time:
~ Volunteer to weed and maintain our gardens in front of the school. We’ll need someone to thin the plants out this Fall, and give them some tender loving care throughout the season.

~ Volunteer to repair stained glass.

~ Sponsor a girl here; we have several girls that come from single parent families that have no money.
~ Provide finances to expand our counseling program. Our goal for 2011 is to open a Christian Biblical-based counseling center that operates on a sliding fee so no one is turned away because of finances. We are looking at renting some space close by so we can have more offices and praying for the funding for the rent and to pay the counselor’s
Bring in your Campbell’s labels and Box Tops for Education - ask family and friends to help as well.
