GIVE THEM HOPE 2014!

Dear Friends:

There are a couple of thing you can count on happening at Agape House at this time of year. One is that the girls are really starting to make progress in their counseling/healing; we all know this can be a painful process.

The other thing you can count on is that Valentine’s Day is coming, and we are organizing a SURPRISE for our angels again this year; one that will remind them of the precious princesses that they are in the eyes of our Savior! Please see our ‘Wish List’ below for a couple of items that would be nice to put in their goodie bags at this special event in case you know someone who would like to help make these girls feel extra special for Valentine’s Day! “Love never fails.” ~ 1 Corinthians 13:8

Blessings . . .

Jan

 
Prayer Requests:

~ For our Agape Angels to remember who they are in Christ as they go through these next few months, working through some very difficult situations in their counseling, as they seek God’s healing for themselves, knowing that He will give them the strength to press on!

~ For the health of our girls and their families; as they press on, pray that they will include healthy eating and exercise in their daily routine to help keep up their strength!

~ For all of the girls/young women who have been through this program, that they will continue to remember who they are in Christ, and that He loves them right where they are at, and desires to have a relationship with them more than anything else! We have been blessed to see these young women stop by at Agape to say ‘Hi’. It is pure joy to see them and know how their lives are going. And it is encouraging that they remember how their lives changed in their time at Agape House!

~ For the staff and volunteers at Agape to remember the purpose and plan God has for their lives, and to rejoice as they continue to follow that path, even though it can be difficult at times to follow.

"But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." ~ 2 Corinthians 12:9
