As we begin Summer School, our Agape Angels will have
less structured time, and thus, they need even more prayer over the summer
months to help them remember what they have learned in the past year at Agape.
SUMMER OFFICE HOURS NOW IN EFFECT:
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday 9:00 to 3:00 (or by appointment)
Prayer Requests:
"I do not consider, brethren, that I have captured and
made it my own [yet]; but one thing I do [it is my one aspiration]: forgetting
what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead. I press on toward
the goal to win the prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward." ~
Philippians 3:13-14
~ For our Agape Angels to be able to move out of their
past, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those
things which are ahead, pressing toward the goal for the prize of the upward
call of God in Christ Jesus, knowing that clinging to the past prevents
them from moving forward.
"Make us glad in proportion to the days in which You
have afflicted us and to the years in which we have suffered evil." ~
Psalm 90:15
~ That the girls recognize that God will redeem and restore what has been lost in their past, trusting Him to make up for the bad things that may have happened.
"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no
foe can withstand]. ~ Psalm 91:1
~ That when these girls are overcome with emotions they
cry out to God for help to resist the surge of emotions that threaten to
overwhelm them, knowing that He will intervene on their behalf; thus, allowing
them to take refuge under His shadow where they will be safe and secure,
knowing that no power in heaven or on earth can withstand Him.
~ For those who have agreed to take girls from our program into
their homes this summer, as they are not ready to return to their homes yet. If you
know anyone who might be willing to do this, please have them contact us, as we
are still looking for homes for 1 or 2 girls.
~ For each one of you and your faithfulness to pray for these girls and this ministry; and for all the ways God continues to provide for our needs.
~ For the staff and volunteers as they enjoy their summer time, finding more time to rest in Him!
