“Let us not
become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we
do not give up.” ~ Galatians 6:9
Please Pray:
~ For our girls to
find joy in doing good for others, and trusting that it will produce a harvest
in their own lives!
~ For a need for
respite homes for some of our girls this summer.
~ For good
health for all of the girls and staff; some have been dealing with colds and
other health issues.
Praise God:
~ For the cast
party Jeff and Elke Ingersoll had this past Tuesday evening for the girls at
their home, as a follow up to the Wizard of Oz performance! The girls had a
great time outdoors, eating by a campfire and exploring in the woods.
~ For the donation
of books from the Community Church of Elkhorn; there’s such joy in having new
books to read!
~ For a
wonderful afternoon of gardening at Agape; Shepherds College came over this
afternoon. Fred and Gere Wissell made lunch for everyone, and then everyone went
off to plant some flowers around the Counseling Center, as well as in front of
the house parent’s apartment. They did a fabulous job, in spite of the gloomy
weather, and it was a pleasure to spend time with the students and teacher for
lunch and on this project!
"The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to
save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with his love,
He will rejoice over you with singing." ~ Zephaniah 3: 1
