“Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but
the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. . .." Exodus 20:9-10
Please Pray:
~ For our Agape Angels, staff and volunteers to continually take time
for a Sabbath, to rest in the Lord, and as Joyce Meyer would say, ‘get filled
up at the Holy Ghost station with the Spirit’! It is so easy for all of us to
get caught up in the ‘business’ of life, but if we don’t take a time out, we
will surely find ourselves ill-equipped to serve our God.
~ Continued prayers for healing for all girls, volunteers, staff, family
and friends.
~ For our girls and their families, as the family visit time is getting
longer for most of them, that they continue to press into the issues they need
to learn to cope with, trusting God to lead them safely through the journey.
Praise God:
~ For the blessings the girls received last Friday at the Spa Day’ and
‘Princess Evening’. This experience was like nothing most of these girls have
ever experienced before. The love that was poured into them was awesome, and we
are so grateful to everyone who contributed towards this event, whether it was
skin, nail or hair care products, make up, chocolate, a wonderful luncheon, a
special dinner/evening out, a massage, a dress or accessories, gift bags and
goodies to fill them, or your own personal time and attention – these girls
knew the love of Jesus, and were treated like the princesses they truly are –
THANK YOU!
~ For the blessing of having a new screen door put on the back of the
Transitional Living Home apartment – here is a special note from the receiver: “I would like to
personally thank all who helped my Perfect Valentine to deliver a wonderful and
needed gift to me this Valentine’s Day—a new back door! Thank you to my friend Dena Przewznik whose
generous gift helped purchase it, to Larry Wissell who picked it up from Lowe’s
and to Bob Milliman who installed it. And thank you to our Lord God who knows
the desires of our hearts and has helped me to be warm and cozy as well as
helping Agape to better steward the resources that He has provided. He is our
true Door(Jn 10:9) and says that all we have to do is “knock and the Door will
be opened” (Mt 7:7)”
~ For our administrative staff who work as a team to help things
flow as smoothly as possible throughout this ministry. We have experienced many
growing pains over the past 6 years, and yet we continue to be blessed by those
who are available to help in numerous ways. Liz Pieters, our receptionist, who
greets everyone coming in to the school with a smile , regardless of the amount
of work she may have to do, and is always ready to assist staff and volunteers
in whatever way may be needed. Jan Baker, who works behind the scenes to
coordinate activities, the processing of phone calls, emails and paperwork, and
as Pam’s assistant, coming alongside her to do whatever needs to be done to
meet the needs of this ministry.
