Faith

“We live by faith, not by sight.” 2 Corinthians 5:7


Prayer Requests:
~ Pray that our Agape Angels learn to walk by faith in His promises, and not by sight (or how things appear or the way they feel); and that they know they can ask God to keep their feelings balanced with the truth of His Word.

~ That the girls continue to work through the tough issues in their lives so that they can go on to be productive servants of our Lord.

~ For healing for the girls, staff, volunteers and all families.

~ For the funds to come in to be able to move forward with the purchase of the home across the street for a counseling center / transition home.

~ For all those who participated in our Informational Night last evening, whether you prayed, attended, brought other guests, made presentations, helped with the organization of the event, donated auction items, purchased auction items, donated finances, etc. – it was amazing to watch God work through each and every one of you – WOW!!!

~ For our volunteer chapel speakers each week, as each one of you bring His message to these girls in His timing, and so in tune with what they need that day!

Ways to Help at this time:
~ Speech teacher to help one of our girls with IEP; about 40 minutes a week.

~ Tutors for afternoons and Friday morning.

~ 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
