Pray for our girls,staff and families to know the joy of resting in the presence of our Almighty God.

Pray for our parents to recognize the importance of fully taking part in the program, not only for the sake of their daughter, but for themselves as well.

Pray for two more girls who are interested in this program; that we know God's wisdom and discernment as to whether or not this program is right for them, and that they know His comfort and strength in choosing to begin our program, for they will need His endurance as well.

Praise God for the generous food donations and Walmart gift cards received this past week from Southern Lakes Ev. Free Church and for the generous donation of a supply of pork from Walworth State Bank, as well as some add'l pork from Jerry Dean. It is wonderful to see the many ways individuals, churches, businesses and civic groups support this ministry; we could not do His work at Agape House without it!

Praise God for two of our girls who were in our program last year, who stepped out and tried to go back to public school this year, and then recognized that Agape School was where they needed to be, so they chose to return!

Praise God for the donations received last week for the girls to enjoy an afternoon of fun at Timber Ridge Water Park in Lake Geneva!

VOLUNTEER NEEDS:
~ Tutors needed for odd hours throughout the day in the classroom - if you have a couple of hours to spare a week and are gifted in helping young people with academic studies, please call us at 262-275-6466.

~ We are trying to expand our counseling services to reach out to the siblings and other family members of the girls in our program. To do this, we are in need of counselors for youth ages 4 to 15, as well as adults. Please call 262-275-6466 and ask for Pam.

~ If you have a refrigerator in good working condition that you no longer need (maybe you are getting a new one), we are in need of a full-size replacement for the TLH.

WISHES:
~ New vacuum cleaner for TLH - help the girls in our Transitional Living Home to know the joy of a new cleaning tool!

~ Shuffles for the girls to use in the classroom. We received some as Christmas gifts last year, and they are really making a difference for the girls. Many of them are able to focus better on their school work when they can listen to Christian music while they do their work.

~ iPad - Help us bring modern technology to the classroom!

WAYS YOU CAN HELP:
~ Can you help provide a monthly scholarship for some of our newer students? The monthly cost for a girl to live in the Home and attend the School is over $1,000. Several of our parents are unable to pay that full amount. Anything you can do to help will make a difference in the live of these girls. Donations can be mailed to Agape House, P.O. Box 68, Walworth, WI 53184. OR, we have a PayPal donation link on our website at www.agapehouseforgirls.org. Or, call Jan at 262-275-6466 if you would like to make a credit card donation.

TV GIVEAWAY - Do you know someone who would like to have a large screen TV? We have one that was donated a few years ago, used by our previous house parents, and now sitting here waiting for someone else to enjoy. Call 262-275-6466 if interested.
