SUMMER OFFICE HOURS: Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
9:00 to 3:00
"The angel of the Lord
encamps all around those who fear Him, and delivers them.” ~ Psalm 34:7
Praise God for the joy of
our Agape Angels being blessed with an ‘Adventure Camping / Rock Climbing’ trip
by Phantom Ranch in Mukwonago! This past week the girls were able to experience
a new adventure in their lives, along with some of the staff. It was a great
way to spend time bonding with each other while enjoying the extraordinary outdoor
beauty of all that God has created right here in Wisconsin at Devil’s Lake
State Park. While the weather was a little chilly at night, it was perfect
during the day for rock climbing. They were also blessed that they didn’t get
rained on at all!
Praise God that through
these experiences, the girls were able to step out of their comfort zone and
learned to overcome so many fears: heights, bugs, snakes, and even the fear of
trying a new experience!
Praise God that the girls
were also able to find joy in the midst of their discomfort. At times when
things became overwhelming for them and they may have gotten into a bad mood,
they were able to turn it around and enjoy the rest of their day. In the past
when they have found themselves in a bad mood, it was something they hung on to
and it ruined the rest of the day.
Praise God that none of the
girls ever felt ‘left out’ on this adventure!
Praise God for the two who
were able to climb all the way to the top of the rock: Ashley B and our very
own Becky Wissell (House Mom).
Praise God for the staff
from Phantom Ranch who were amazing, friendly, encouraging, and also did a
great job of cooking the meals!
Please continue to pray for
our Agape Angels as they go through the summer months; pray that they will
spend time each day enhancing their relationship with God, and that they will
turn to Him in the good times and the bad, when they need Him and when they are
grateful to Him, and strengthen the bond so they realize they cannot live one
day without God in their lives!
"The Lord is my light
and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of
whom shall I be afraid?." ~ Psalm 27:1
