“He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs." ~ Zephaniah 3:17b

Please Pray:

~ For our Agape Angels to know the depth of the love their Abba Father has for them; how much He is filled with joy over each and every one of them; and that He has provided a safe and loving place in His heart for them, as He waits with open arms for them to fully accept Him into their lives.
~ For healing for some of the staff and their families who are dealing with health issues.
~ For the girls to continue to stay healthy!
~ For us to select the right person for the RA position, who will come alongside of these girls like a big sister, loving them right where they are at, while guiding them to His grace and love.

Praise God:

~ For one of our students, Courtney, who completed her final test today for high school!
~ For each and every one of you who continue to support this ministry in so many ways. As we approach the end of 1^st semester, I would like to highlight for you the many ways volunteers have helped with the education process here:
-  Tutors, most of whom are teachers, to come alongside the girls and encourage them in the PACE work, with some who specialize in math, science and English.  One of the tutors even does science experiments with the girls every Friday! Another one is teaching them to write stories. And another is teaching them to prepare resumes on the computers. We also have a home ec teacher who has been teaching them sewing skills, and another volunteer who teaches them about drug and alcohol issues. We also have a skilled teacher working with the girls in choir (watch for details of a performance coming up in April or May). I could go on and on, but I think you can see my point – God continues to use so many of you to bless these girls through this ministry, and we are so grateful. 

“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.”  Psalm 118:1
