2014 Annual Report Agape Pregnancy Resource Center

Agape Pregnancy Resource Center
2014 Annual Report
Agape PRC exists to demonstrate and share the life-changing message of Jesus Christ by
providing practical help and loving support to those facing an unplanned pregnancy.
From the Board President
& Executive Director
Dear Friends,
“Behold, I am doing a new thing,” ...words so true for Agape this year. We joyously celebrated our 10th year of
ministry in February, then embarked upon implementing a strategic plan to make Agape stronger and more
effective during the next decade...Agape 2.0!
During this past year, we have implemented new financial policies and are working
towards accreditation with the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability. In
addition, we fine-tuned our administrative processes by converting to a new client
database that provides even better reporting and statistical data. Also, we trained the
largest crop of new volunteers in our history!
Next we formed a team to take our successful “Earn While You Learn Program” to the
next level. The result is the new “Bloom...with Earn While You Learn,” which includes
new classes and a 12-week, intensive Foundations Class led by local churches. Each
session begins with a meal and then focuses on career/personality assessment, healthy
relationships, the Gospel and bridging the gap between Agape and local churches. The
goal: breaking cycles of poverty and poor relationships and becoming members of a
local church. The inaugural class, led by members of Hill Country Bible Church Round
Rock ran this fall and was an amazing time of ministry and growth!
Finally, we set our sights on saving more lives, both physically & eternally. We
implemented a new evangelism strategy in partnership with EvanTell called “Save a
Mother, Save a Child,” making it possible to reach even more clients AND their families with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Then, with the help of our donors, we purchased
a new ultrasound machine, making it possible to see babies by 5 1/2 weeks...our most
powerful tool for saving babies’ lives.
For this amazing ministry, we always praise God first. He is our
rock, our hope and our reason to exist. But you, our donors and
supporters, are truly the hands and feet He uses to keep the
doors open. With us, you are a part of saving lives. We are
humbled and abundantly grateful for your continued generosity.
We are eager to see just how He uses all of us for His glory as
we enter into a new phase of growth. So, keep the prayers
coming, and thank you for making this ministry possible.

From our clients:
“Agape has been such a blessing to me & my family. It has been forever lifechanging. The first day I came I was with little hope or faith. I was scared and
immature. God has spoken to me through all of Agape’s advocates and taught me
how to become a loving mother and wife. Thank you for molding me into a loving
woman.” ~Victoria

“Agape has shown me how to open up and allow others to get close to
me. It has shown me how to love others. Most importantly it has helped
me grow and shape my relationships with God.” ~Estele
Jo Markham, Executive Director
“I thank you guys because you have introduced God back in my life.” ~Maria
Miranda Bradley, Development
& Marketing Coordinator
“These wonderful people feel like a second family.” ~Shameka
“We have been so grateful for the emotional support and resource support provided
by Agape’s staff & supporters! My husband & I were in between jobs when we
moved to Round Rock to be near family for the birth of our beautiful daughter.
During a time of transition and financial stress, the ladies at Agape offered
friendship, advice, and kind words...
and the resources available helped us to
adequately prepare for the arrival of
our daughter. Thank you!” ~Jana
“I love Agape! Everyone is great
and so nice. I received a lot of
good information. I am a firsttime mom...and it helps so much
to have a place to receive
education and items that help
with a new baby. This place is
amazing and everyone is
wonderful! ~Jessica
“I now feel prepared and informed to be
able to begin motherhood...You guys
have made an impact on my life in
ways that I can’t begin to describe.”
~Jacque
“I have really enjoyed getting to
know the staff & realizing that
everything will be OK if I keep my
focus on God. It has been a
beautiful journey. Thank you for
allowing me to learn while being
able to get ready for our baby
through the Earn While You
Learn program. We are blessed to
have attended Agape’s program.”
