August praises and prayer requests

Every month at Agape, as we sit back and reflect on the previous month, we are reminded that no two days here are the same and no two month’s duties are alike. This month was filled with a wide variety of tasks and assignments.
Lance wears many “hats” here at Agape. His job title says he is the Director of IT and Logistics. He also has the roles of Facilities Director and Volunteer Coordinator, so each day when he goes to work, he could be fulfilling any number of responsibilities. Within the span of this month, he has been working on the roof with the repairman to fix the leaks, coordinating the distribution of donated goods, supplying the medical missionaries with ORS packets, and shopping for the missionaries.
Quite honestly, the variety is sometimes challenging but it also makes his job enjoyable. When a missionary needed parts for a Bobcat skid loader, Lance was able to research the part and find the needed tools to make the repairs. (If you know Lance, you know that parts and equipment are right up his alley.)
Another job that was custom made for Lance was his assignment to shop for eye clinic equipment on eBay. Most of the internet connections in Haiti are spotty and unreliable so when it comes to shopping on the internet, they will often send their requests to Agape. Most of you know that Lance has extensive experience both selling and buying on eBay, so this job was again the perfect fit.
We feel very blessed that God has given us an assignment here at Agape which includes such a wide variety of tasks and duties.

Here are the prayer requests and praises for this month:
Praise God the calling He has placed in our hearts to serve and work at Agape Flights. He has given us a job where we can see His hands at work every day. We never want to take that for granted.
Praise the Father for the way He cares for His people. When our abilities and resources fall short, He always has enough.
Please pray for the flights and pilots as the storm season approaches. Please pray for clear skies and divine protection over every flight.
Please pray for rest for all of us as we take a short break this month. We need a time of refreshing and refilling of God’s strength. We absolutely love what we do at Agape, but, in order to be a full blessing to others, we need to be replenished and refilled. We hope to find that time of refilling this month.
Please pray for the missionaries we serve. We are constantly praying for protection, provision and abundance in their lives. Please stand in agreement with us for these faithful servants.

Thank you for all the prayers and encouragement. We appreciate every gift of prayer support, financial support and blessings spoken over us. You are a part of Agape Flights through your commitment to support us. Thank you!

Living Victoriously in Christ,
The Anderson ministry team
