Due to State licensing regulations, we are required to close down for two months during the summer. In many ways this is difficult, it is also a chance for our staff to step back, get some rest and reflect on the past year. As we enter into our third year at Agape School, we are excited to welcome back previous girls and welcome in some new girls.
Four girls graduated the program and will not be returning. Three are returning back into the Home and will be attending public school and one is enrolling with YWAM (Youth With A Mission) to become a missionary. As sad as it is to see these girls leave, we are blessed to see them go back home set free from the bondages they came to us with. Even though we know they will struggle from time to time, as we all do, we know that they can trust in Jesus to overcome those struggles. These girls have worked very hard and we are very proud of them.
Please pray for the girls who have left the program, for the ones who are returning, and the new girls who are coming in. We thank God every day for each of you !
