"For it is by free grace that you are saved through faith. And this is not of yourselves, but it is the gift of God; not because of works, lest any man should boast. For we are God's handiwork, recreated in Christ Jesus, that we may do those good works which God predestined for us, that we should walk in them." ~ Ephesians 2:8-10

Please Pray:
~ For our Agape Angels to know the beauty of this gift of 'grace' that God gives to those who believe, and that they will walk this out in their lives.

~ For our girls to know the joy of how much they are loved as they take part in the 'Passion for Jesus' conference at the International House of Prayer (IHOP) today and tomorrow.

~ For the staff, girls and families to know God's healing power in their lives, and especially for those who are struggling with health issues.

"God is our Refuge and Strength, a very present and well-proved help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear; though the earth should change and though the mountains be shaken into the midst of the seas. Though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling and tumult." ~ Psalm 46:1-3

Please Pray:
~ For our Agape Angels to recognize that God is there for us, as our refuge and strength, through the difficult times in our lives, and to rejoice in this knowledge! Also, for them to understand that this is different than asking God to take away our troubles, because in this life we will have troubles and difficult times, and God wants us to turn to Him.

~ For all who are going to the International House of Prayer conference next week, to attend a Passion for Jesus conference; please pray for our girls to experience all that God has planned for them over the 3-day conference, and for them to be excited about this journey. Please also pray for safe travel and an all-around awesome experience for the girls and their chaperones.

~ For the girls who are preparing for the Wizard of Oz performance coming up at the end of this month; please pray that they will embrace the parts they are playing and enjoy this event.

Praise God:
~ For all the food/snack donations, as well as other items, i.e., TV cart, that we have been blessed with in the past couple of weeks.

~ For the girls who spent longer amounts of time with their families over Spring Break, and for all they learned about how they are doing with their healing.

~ For the good health that most of the staff and girls are enjoying at this time (please pray for those who might still have something to get out of their system).

"You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy, at Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore." ~ Psalm 16:11
