GIVE THEM HOPE 2014!

"I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in His word I put my hope." ~Psalm 130:5

Dear Friends:

There is great excitement in the air at Agape as we approach Christmas, the day we have been busily preparing to celebrate!

There is probably more meaning for our Agape Angels to this time of year, and along with the excitement, there is generally anxiety. This is the first time some of our girls will spend a longer period of time at home with their families since they came to Agape at the beginning of the school year. However, along with that anxiety goes HOPE! These girls are hoping that this Christmas will be different, due to the new coping skills they are learning, as well as the healing that Christ is providing for them.

May your Christmas be blessed in ways that only God can do. Thank you all for your ongoing support of this ministry.

Blessings . . .

Pam

Prayer Requests:
~ Pray for our Agape Angels to know the joy of that HOPE, as they have been preparing and waiting for this day for longer than most young people. Pray that they are able to cast their cares upon the Lord, and go forth with the abandonment of children to enjoy this new season in their lives, which is all as a result of the birth of Jesus Christ.

~ Pray for the families of our Agape Angels to trust God to help them incorporate what they have learned in the last 4 months into their time with their daughters, and to know the joy of HOPE.

~ Pray for physical, emotional and spiritual healing for our Agape Angels, staff, volunteers and their families.

~ Pray for prayers to be answered at this miraculous time of year.

"For God so loved the world that He gave HIs one and only Son, that whoever

believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." ~ John 3:16
