“This will be a very difficult decision to follow through with. Leaving your son with the staff at Agape Boarding School will test your faith. What helped us in this deciding on Agape was to take a tour before we made the final decision. I talked with the staff multiple times on the telephone and each time they answered my questions in a God honoring manner. When we took the tour, the two things that solidified the decision to send our son here was when we walked into the Sanctuary I felt the Holy Spirit give me a peace about Agape, and the other was the words that were spoken to me on the tour. I asked what the success rate was at Agape, and the answer was when a person gets their life right with God (spiritual) then the physical and mental sides will fall into place.” -Troy (Parent)
