"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13

Please Pray:

~ For our Agape Angels to allow God's goodness and hope to overcome the lies of their past (worthlessness, fear, not good enough, humiliation, uselessness, grief, disgrace, false blame and shame) and fill them with HOPE for a better tomorrow.

~ For continued healing for some of the staff, volunteers and their families who are dealing with health issues.

~ For Mickie, our new RA, as she prepares to begin on February 10th, that God will prepare her heart and spirit for the task at hand as she willingly steps out trusting Him that this is His purpose and plan for her at this season of her life!

~ For the girls and their families who have called in the last 2 months desiring to get into this program, whom we had to put on hold at this time until next Fall. Pray for them to know God's protection as they go through this waiting period, for Him to prepare their hearts to desire to be at Agape House and to have the courage to do the work that will be necessary to make a difference in their futures.

Praise God:

~ For the healing powers Jesus is pouring into our Agape Angels, allowing His love to flow, cleansing the wounds/pain from the past.

~ For our House Parents, Becky and Larry Wissell, and the blessing that they are as they continue to trust God for all their needs, including wisdom and discernment for their personal lives and in their role as steadfast house parents, as they so beautifully show His love, grace and mercy to the girls in the Home.  We are also blessed that Larry volunteers as our PE teacher once a week, showing the girls a variety of activities on a Monday morning!

 ~ For all of you who continue to support this ministry in so many ways so that we can continue to serve God, providing HOPE for His children.

 “The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I come that they may have and enjoy life and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows)." ~ John 10:10
