"The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, . . . He sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners . . . " ~ Isaiah 61:1

Dear Friends:
We know Spring is coming, even if the weather indicates differently. The geese are flying north; I’ve seen cranes, and others tell me they’ve seen robins. The calendar says the first day of Spring has arrived, so we know it’s coming.

It is the same way with the girls at Agape: They are responding to the love that is being showered upon them; they are making progress with their school work and counseling; they are trusting people here; and God’s word is going from their heads to their hearts. We know the Victory is already won – we’re just waiting for it to show up, all in His timing - praise God!

Thank you for your continued prayers.

Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things.”  ~ Philippians 4:8

Please Pray:
~ For our Agape Angels to learn to think about the right things in life, as they come to understand that they can affect a change in their own lives! 

~ For the staff to enjoy some rest and relaxation during Spring Break/Easter; and for the staff in the Home not to  get too worn out with the extra time they will be spending with the girls when they are not at home. 

~ For the girls who might have longer visits over Spring Break/Easter to be strengthened in who they are in Christ and put into action all that they have learned about the precious gift of righteousness they have been given from God.

Praise God:
~ For all who are helping with the dress sale, including all who donated dresses, dress racks, etc. This is more than just a fund raiser; the girls learn the value of working towards a goal by helping with this event, and they learn how much work it takes to earn $20 for a dress. We also pray that many people are blessed by the opportunity to purchase gently-used dresses for upcoming events at such a discounted cost.

~ For the planning of a trip to IHOP in Kansas City next month where girls and staff will have the opportunity to be transformed to a greater level in their walk with the Lord, and for the donation made for this wonderful event!

~ For the joy of celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ this Easter season, and the gift of salvation that is the result of Him dying on the cross!

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13
