“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him…” Romans 8:28a

Prayer Requests:
~Please pray that each of the girls will “know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him.” Pray that each one will learn to trust the one who created them.

~Please pray for the financial needs to be met for the completion of the renovation of our new building so that we can open the Counseling Center and the Transition Home, as we already have girls on a waiting list! We are praying for $10,000 for these costs (the building has 3 separate units which will provide space for our counselors as well as a Transitional Living Home for girls 18-28 to have a safe home while they receive biblical counseling, bible studies and learn independent living skills through work and education. Thank you all so much for your ongoing support.

~Please continue to pray for God to provide mentors for each of the girls – someone to spend one-on-one time encouraging, supporting and just having fun times with them.

Praise Reports:
For the donation of labor by Adams Electric to install new, more efficient lighting in the gym. It will be awesome to see our electric bills go down, and we are enjoying brighter lights!

For the amazing work that God is doing in the lives of the girls continuously. He truly does work for the good of those who love him.
