Agape Love - Agape is seeking the welfare and betterment of another regardless of how we feel. Agape does not have the

primary meaning of feelings or affection. This is an

unconditional love. A love without restrictions, It is a love

by choice even if you are not pleased.

A love in spite of

and intimacy, it is the root word of erotic, and eroticism.

A love for the benefit of.

of affection, the need for physical touch, and sometimes it is the love between exceptional

needs and desires. A love for the affection of.

AgapeThe Greeks defined love in four categories:

This means that no matter what, we are loved. No matter how good we are, no matter how bad we have been, or what we believe.Our skin color does not matter, our heritage does not matter, and especially our past does not matter, we are loved unconditionally, regardless of where we are today! What does matter is that Agape Message Ministries wants to make things better, however we can, and no matter what the cost. There are many less fortunate than we, and they deserve to be loved anyhow.

MessageA message in

its most general

meaning is an object of

communication It is a

vessel which provides

information.

Message means: a written or spoken communication delivered by an intermediary. We are in business to bring the message of Agape Love to the masses. We can be the angels of the community. Didn’t God use angels as messengers?So we too can be used by God to bring the message of hope, and love to our communities.

Integrity consists of two parts: (1) Morality, the conformity to ideals of right human conduct and(2) Wisdom, learning acquired over a period of time: knowledge

Integrity is an uncommon and uncompromising adherence to moral and ethical principles. It is a state of being whole or in an entirely unimpaired condition. It is our responsibility to do the best we can in order to take things which we know are wrong, deviant, or destructive; and make them right, appropriate, and constructive. We must fight for what we know is ethical, and morally acceptable.

Morality

Wisdom

Integrity

Our integrity sells for so little, but it is all we really have

Page 13: Agape  M essage Ministries Incorporated

Nothing is braver than honesty; speak your mind even if your voice shakes.Honesty means: just, equitable, trustworthy, truthful, sincere, free from fraud, guile, or duplicity; not false. Honesty is characterized by fairness and straight-forwardness in conduct, thought, and speech. Agape Message Ministries sees the need for honesty in community improvement; as a result we operate with the understanding that sincerity and truthfulness are necessary for real improvement to take place.

Honesty the quality or fact of being honest upright and fair.

Can you help us change someone else's outlook

on their future?

Hope means:To intend with some possibility of fulfilment To be optimistic A specific instance of feeling hopeful The general feeling that some desire will be fulfilled Someone or something on which expectations are centered

Hope is one of the three Christian virtues, to be included with honesty, and love.

As long as our eyes are open to see and feel that what is wanted and/or needed, we will also see that they can be had or rather will be had.

We look forward with desire, reasonable confidence, and the belief that we will succeed.

ResponsibilityWho lives here ?Who can make a

difference ?I live here!

I can make a difference! Do you live here ?Can you make a

difference ?

I believe it is our responsibility. How

can we expect someone who doesn’t live here, to make a

difference? Their priorities don’t lie

here

Page 18: Agape  M essage Ministries Incorporated

We can help make the dream come true or we can stand by and watch as our

communities deteriorate in hopes that someone else will eventually step up to the plate and swing away

Batter Up!

Page 19: Agape  M essage Ministries Incorporated

A Community is not just one of

anything Not just one

company, one group, one family,

or one individual.

A community is all of us. Not just the elite or the poverty

stricken. We are the community

Page 20: Agape  M essage Ministries Incorporated

Not Tear down but build up

The growth or building up

of a community is aided by providing enterprises and services that help

people’s opinion of themselves and others

improve.

Page 21: Agape  M essage Ministries Incorporated

Simply put better not

worse! We can make things worse by watching

and waiting for someone else to do it,

or we can make things better by doing

it ourselves.
