Ask, Seek, Knock

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” ~ Matthew 7:7

Prayer Requests:
~Please pray for the girls to trust God enough to be respectful of others, knowing that even if someone is not being respectful of them, they can trust God to handle the situation and not feel burdened to handle it themselves.

~Please pray for God’s provision of$2,000 to $3,000 to cover the remaining costs to finish the Transitional Living Home and Counseling Center so we can be officially open by the 1st of April.

~Please pray for $4,000 to cover payroll taxes this month.


Praise Reports:
Praise God for being our provider: “And don’t worry about food – what to eat and drink. Don’t worry whether God will provide it for you. These things dominate the thoughts of most people, but your Father already knows your needs. He will give you all you need from day to day if you make the Kingdom of God your primary concern.” ~ Luke 12:29 -31 NLT

Ways to help in the ministry of Agape House:

~If you are interested in sponsoring a girl for the Dare 2 Share Youth Conference, the cost is $75.00 per girl which covers the conference, meals and the hotel.

~We are in need of someone to clean out the chimney in the fireplace at the counseling center.
~ Provide financial support to help with tuition assistance for a girl here; we have many girls whose families are only able to pay a fraction of the cost of the services we provide for them.

~ Volunteer to repair stained glass.

~Bring in your Campbell’s labels and Box Tops for Education - ask family and friends to collect them as well.

“For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.” ~ Matthew 7:8
