Great is the Lord

HELP NEEDED: This Saturday, February 11 (9a.m. – 4p.m.) we will be working on the new building at 230 S. Main St. which is right across the street from Agape House. Lots of help is needed.

“Great are the works of the Lord; they are pondered by all who delight in them. Glorious and majestic are his deeds, and his righteousness endures forever. He has caused his wonders to be remembered; the Lord is gracious and compassionate.” Psalm 11:2-4

Urgent Prayer Request:

We are so grateful that God provided the building we need for the new Counseling Center and Transition Home; this is evidence of His great works. However, we are in desperate need of up to $10,000 to finish the renovation process in order to do the flooring, paint and necessary renovations. Praise God - all labor has been volunteered; God’s visible deeds through His people.

We already have girls waiting for the Transition Home.

Thank you for your consideration of this request. May the Lord’s compassion shine through each of us.

God Bless

Prayer Requests:

~Please pray for God to provide volunteers to serve as mentors to the new girls. Our girls all need inner healing. According to author and Child Psychiatrist, Dr. Bruce D. Perry “Healing and recovery is impossible – even with the best medications and therapy in the world – without lasting, caring connections to others.”

~Please pray for the girls and staff as they travel to Chicago this week to visit The Field Museum.

Praise Reports:

~For the generous donation of an overnight trip to Chicago for the girls.

~For donations of supplies and food, as well as items for our rewards basket.

~For the volunteers who are providing the labor for renovating the new building.
