"For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich."  ~ II Corinthians 8:9

 

Prayer Requests

Pray that our Agape Angels truly know the depth of God's love for them, and the richness of the gift that we were given when Jesus was born as a poor boy in a lowly stable so that we might have salvation and wear the richness of a robe of righteousness!

 

Pray for our girls as they go home to spend time with family for Christmas, that they are able to use the coping skills they've been learning the past few months at Agape, and that they remember who they are in Christ, so that hopefully they will have a more  blessed time with family.

 

Praise God

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.
