​Agape Fish Fund partners with O'Keefe, which provides tutoring and mentorship to low-income students in East Palo Alto. This year we'd like to enrich 12 of the students with field trips to see a nativity drama and to provide school supplies for them.

Park Day

On Saturday, September 2, 2017, we took the kids to Willow Park for the morning. Everyone had a great time on the playground and hanging out.

Encouragement from Pastor Marcus Givens

​Pastor Marcus Givens, Development Officer at Bayshore Christian Ministries, visited O'Keefe during the last week of September. He wanted to share this encouragement.
Dear O'Keefe team,

Thank you so much for the very warm reception tonight, and special thanks to you, Aimee and Joshua, for the tour of both of our turoring centers! It is very exciting to see kids working on their multiplication tables, reading, learning to pronounce and read new words, and the like.

​​You are all doing a great work, and I am very excited to see the close relationships you obviously have with the kids there, and even those not coming to tutoring tonight. Keep up this wonderful ministry, and you can bet I will be back.

Please know that you are opening new vistas, encouraging our kids, and impacting their lives in ways you may not see for years, or until we're in heaven.

God bless you richly,

Development Officer
