Great Are the Works of the Lord

“Glorious and majestic are his deeds, and his righteousness endures forever.”  Psalm 111:3


Prayer Requests:
~ Pray for the girls to finish up the school year productively and for those who need to attend summer school to do so to benefit their educational goals.

~Pray for the preparations for many of the girls to return home this summer.  Pray that God will be glorified in their family lives.

~Pray for respite homes for two or three girls who need a place for July and August, as Agape House is closed at that time.

~Pray for new house parents (see more info below).

~We have an 18-year old student who has struggled in school her whole life, but has been “passed” through.  In order to help identify her learning issues and style, she needs a neuropsychological evaluation done. She has no insurance, but we found a clinic that will do the test for $250.  This test is important for her to get the help she needs to not only graduate high school, but go on to college (which is her goal) and to help her in everyday life. If you are interested in helping with this, please send a check to Agape House at PO Box 68, Walworth, WI 53184, with a note on the memo line: Designated for neuropsych eval. Thank you for praying for her as we come along side her to help her achieve the goals she has for herself.
