BE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND

SATURDAY WORK DAYS - We are in need of people willing to help do what needs to be done for the renovation of our new building; there is a lot of painting and other work needed. We will work the next two Saturdays, the 21st and 28th, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Just show up at the building and look for Ben Patterson to see what he needs you to do. Thanks so much!!! (The new building is across the street from Agape House at 230 S. Main St.)

“Surely you heard of him and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.” Ephesians 4:21-24

Prayer Requests:
~Pray for one girl who has left the program, another girl soon to leave, new girls who are just coming and former students who are back for some educational assistance.
~ Please pray that each girl will remember all they have heard and been taught about Jesus. Pray that they will be transformed by the renewing of their minds and no longer conform to the pattern of this world.


Praise Reports:
~That our Counseling Center/Transitional Living Home across the street is a few steps closer to reality, as the renovation process has begun. More work days will be scheduled soon.
