THANKSGIVING BLESSINGS TO ALL

“. . . how great are the riches of the glory of this mystery, Christ within and among you, the Hope of glory.”  ~ Colossians 1:27

~ Pray for our girls to desire to experience the best God has planned for them, and to know the joy of Christ within us and the Hope of glory that gives us.

~ Pray for everyone who is part of Agape House, the girls, staff, volunteers and all of our families, to have faith in the power and authority we have over the spiritual warfare we are experiencing, probably as a result of all that took place at the Informational Night, as testimonies were shared, and the lives of people were touched! Pray that we remember to speak truth into our lives, and walk in the glory of all that God has planned for this ministry.

Praise God for new mattresses donated and soon to be delivered - what a blessing!

Counselors Needed - for young children (ages 4 to 15), as well as adults

Capital Campaign – Resurfacing of ‘Blacktop’ at both Properties – If you would like to contribute specifically to this cause, please indicate ‘Blacktop’ on the memo line of your check.  We were given a fabulous quote of $4,500 for this much-needed project to help maintain the life of the blacktop surfaces at both properties.

Tuition Assistance - 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.

Donations – If you would like to make a donation to Agape House, please mail a check to P.O. Box 68, Walworth, WI 53184.  We also have a PayPal donation link on our website soon at www.agapehouseforgirls.org. Or, if you would like to set up a monthly donation to be withdrawn automatically from your account, please contact Jan at 262-275-6466 or jan@agapehouseforgirls.org.
