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

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
