His faithfulness continues through all generations!

“SHOUT FOR JOY,” came to my mind when Ella, a 1st grader walked into the hangar at AGAPE FLIGHTS, on the last day of the year to give water and money to help the people of HAITI.




SHOUT FOR JOY

SHOUT FOR JOY TO THE LORD
SHOUT FOR JOY TO THE LORD
ALL THE EARTH

SERVE THE LORD WITH GLADNESS
COME BEFORE HIM WITH JOYFUL SONG

SHOUT FOR JOY TO THE LORD
SHOUT FOR JOY TO THE LORD
AHH…

SHOUT FOR JOY TO THE LORD
KNOW THAT THE LORD IS GOD
KNOW THAT THE LORD IS GOD

IT IS HE WHO MADE US AND WE ARE HIS
WE ARE HIS PEOPLE
THE SHEEP OF HIS PASTURE

KNOW THAT THE LORD IS GOD
KNOW THAT THE LORD IS GOD

ENTER HIS GATES WITH THANKSGIVING
AND HIS COURTS WITH PRAISE

THE LORD IS GOOD,
ENDURES FOREVER
FAITHFULNESS THROUGH ALL GENERATIONS

SHOUT FOR JOY TO THE LORD
SHOUT FOR JOY TO THE LORD
SHOUT FOR JOY TO THE LORD!

Michael Pignotti adopted the words from Psalm 100 over 20 years ago, for singing and worshiping the Lord. “SHOUT FOR JOY”



*Note…AGAPE FLIGHTS now buys the water in route in order to save space for other critical needs going to the missionaries. But the case of water from Ella… Steve Koch (Pilot and one of the Board of Directors) said, “what we can do is fill up a cooler with the water bottles and deliver the water ice cold when we get to Haiti …for Ella.”
Psalm 100, The Holy Bible NIV
Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before Him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is He who made us, and we are his; we are His people, the sheep of His pasture.
Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name. For the Lord is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations.

Thanks For Sharing Your Hope Ella...

THANKS ELLA,

The year 2010 just closed; a year like no other at AGAPE FLIGHTS, or for you I trust. As a volunteer watching the ministry at AGAPE FLIGHTS I thank God for both the high points and the low points of this past year…Agape was truly a testimony to me as I witnessed them as they walked by faith and trusted God for ALL things.

I pray that the people God placed in Agape’s path last year were also blessed and will continue serving Christ with us in the year ahead. Because of the LOVE shown through prayer, donations of time and generous gifts for the people in Haiti, Dominican Republic and the Bahamas the work and HOPE continues. In spite of the many setbacks faced by all of us we can “Shout For Joy to The LORD,” and not lose HOPE.

The January Earthquake in Haiti may long be remembered well after the year 2010. Outlandish death tolls in Haiti still shock even most seasoned relief workers. The devastation ended up highlighting the political unrest, the high unemployment, the orphans and just the plain fact that Haiti is a country that is hanging on by a thread. BUT DON’T LOSE HOPE!

The flooding from Hurricane Tomas would hardly be worth a mention with all the other woes that Haiti has endured… except the storm caused flooding that triggered a deadly cholera outbreak that spun fear further than the eyes can see. Families that have lost everything near and dear to them…friends, furniture, and finances still in shambles ELEVEN months after the quake struck. And still MANY are living in tents. BUT DON'T LOSE HOPE…Ella didn’t!

In walks Ella…a first grader that walked into the reception area at AGAPE FLIGHTS hangar at the Venice Airport with her mother. Why because of HOPE! Because she wanted to share her money and give some water to the people in Haiti. “SHOUT FOR JOY TO THE LORD!”

Thanks Ella!
