Praise God:

~ For the girls who are making progress in their faith and trusting of God, as well as making good choices for themselves as they find who they are in Christ!

~ For the donation by Royal Oak Farm Orchard in Harvard, IL of a fun afternoon for some of our girls on a hayride, picking apples, and enjoying all of the other goodies at their farm!

~ For His never-ending grace, blessings, strength, compassion and never-ending love as we go through our days, sometimes leaning on God every moment of the day!

Prayer Requests

~ For the girls and their families to come to know and trust God, and find their own identity.

~ For healing the families of staff as they deal with so many issues that are a result of brokenness.

~ For the girls to learn that they do not need to be controlled by their emotions.

~ For our Informational Night, that God brings all those he desires to attend to hear the testimonies of lives being changed, and that hearts are touched!

“ .  . . but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” ~ Isaiah 40:31
