"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have ovecome the world." ~ John 16:33
 

Praise God for:

~ Another one of the girls has accepted Christ into her heart!!!

~ Another one of our girls who had a necessary surgery last week, and has returned to school this week feeling good and focused!

~ The girls are desiring to take better care of themselves. While this is quite common at the beginning of a new year due to resolutions people make, it is even more significant when the girls reach this point at Agape House. It means they are starting to value themselves enough to see that they can do things differently in their lives today to impact their future.

~ Art supplies donated and/or purchased on sale; the girls are really enjoying their art class and making wonderful projects that allow them to express their inner feelings!

~ Answered prayers from staff.

~ Donation of a working dishwasher for the TLH!

 

Pray for:

~ Staff to continue to hear God’s wisdom and discernment as the girls recognize they have a voice that can be heard and start to question what they are learning.

~ The girls to know the joy of the great plans that God has for them.

~ For those girls who are close to finishing up their high school credits, that they not get discouraged; rather, continue to trust God to help them reach their goals in His timing.

Ways to help in the ministry of Agape House:
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.
