Receive Him

Christmas Ideas for the Girls
If anyone is interested in donating Christmas gifts for the girls, gift cards for things they can go out and do would be fabulous! Suggestions: movie theatres, bowling alleys, shopping at Walmart or Target, roller skating, eating out, etc.


“But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name.” ~ John 1:12


Prayer Requests:
~ Pray that our Agape Angels understand the blessing of receiving Jesus Christ into their hearts, and the authority that gives them to be a child of God who they can believe in, adhere to and rely on.

~ for our girls to trust that the holiday time will bring them happiness, and that their home visits will be a positive experience.

~ for healing for our girls, their families (including those no longer taking part in our program), volunteers and staff.

~ for God’s direction for our girls and this ministry to be made known to all who need to know.


Praise Reports:
~ For the donation of a 72” Christmas wreath that fits perfectly above the front doorway, as well as some evergreen boughs to drape around the doorway and down the stair railings! (And for willing volunteers to hang the wreath).
