Strangers
Ten years have passed and Agape Partners International is proud to present the revised edition of this publication due to popular demand. During this past decade, Agape Partners International expanded its horizons to two distinct but important areas of ministry, namely Agape Counseling Network and Agape Missions. The Agape Counseling Network has continued to focus on protecting and preserving the sanctity of God ordained institutions such as Family and Marriage by conducting seminars, symposiums, surveys, researches etc. In the coming years, CAN proposes to work with like minded organizations in forming a network of trained Christian Counselors in the USA to help the young generation to deal with the issues of life that they are facing. Agape Missions Network has been involved in training native missionaries to be pioneer workers in Gujarat, India and also in helping destitute children by providing them with free boarding, food, and education.
