“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
