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
Eros Love -Eros is physical passion; its gratification and fulfilment. It is physical desire,
and intimacy, it is the root word of erotic, and eroticism.
A love for the benefit of.
Storge Love - Storge is the natural bond between mother and infant, father, children, and kin. This is the word for family love and the physical show
of affection, the need for physical touch, and sometimes it is the love between exceptional
friends. A love because of.
Phileo Love - is the dispassionate virtuous love guided by our likes and dislikes or our healthy
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

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.
