He Is Risen

“Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said.” Matthew 28:5b – 6a NIV

Prayer Requests:

- For a healing miracle for a special Mom in need!
- For a blessed Easter weekend for our girls and their families, as well as staff, and that everyone will enjoy their 4-day weekend.
- For the girls to continue to draw closer to God, to know what His plans are for each of them, and for them to desire to strive to see those plans through.
- For our girls who could graduate at the end of May, that they not get caught up in the fear of what happens when they leave Agape; rather, keep their focus on God and keep moving forward!
- For continued progress for one of our students trying a new method of learning, and for continued encouragement from those who love and care for her.
- For the young ladies in the community who purchased dresses at the sale last weekend, that they truly feel like a ‘Princess of the King’ when they wear their new dresses.
