If you have ever attended an Agape Love Inc. Event, (especially the Bachelor Charity Auctions), then you know we have a list of venue and restaurant sponsors who provide entertainment and dinners for our Bachelor/Bachelorette Dates that are always delicious and served by a courteous group of staff who are excellent at what they do.

The restaurants run the gamut from simple American Cuisine and Sunday Brunch to Sea Food and Stir Fry. The entertainment covers museums and aquariums, which are fun for one and all.

As a result of the donations, we will list the venue and restaurants here on the Agape Love, Inc. website. We will also be listing them as sponsors for the 2011 Miss Illinois Plus America Pageant on the national website. In addition, we make sure that they are listed as sponsors for any future publications we create and promote on TV/radio spots we do.

We encourage you to check them out, visit the establishments and enjoy the food and fun.

If you are a restaurateur or venue owner/manager who is interested in becoming a Bachelor Auction Sponsor, please call or e-mail us at (773) 498-6417 or (773)387-3363, mgeddis@christlikelove.com.

Agape Love is a dream, a vision that was brought to me by God. A dream, a vision that was a call to action by the Lord himself.

I had an important, yet unfulfilling job in the environmental industry when I heard the Lord call upon me to create networking opportunities for equally yoked women and men of Christ. At first, I looked up to heaven with a kind of “You got to be kidding Lord,” look on my face. But the Lord said he wasn’t kidding. So I got to work. Trusting in the Lord I made a big leap of FAITH and left my job. After that, everything began to fall into place. Through my prayers and meditation, God began to guide me in the direction he desired me to go. I begin to tap into God as my source and assembled an anointed team to help make the dream a reality. Before I knew it, Agape Love was born and working!

Agape Love is a Christian ministry with the express purpose of providing networking opportunities for Christians in safe, fun and secure settings through events planning and a designated website. Not a dating service, Agape Love is unique in its vision to focus on providing opportunities, both social and professional in nature, not offered through other organizations. Agape Love provides equally yoked women and men of Christ with opportunities to come together in spirit filled settings.

Whether you choose to become a member of Agape Love because you are looking for professional opportunities or want to enjoy the embrace of a community of like-minded Christians coming together to network about work, or other life issues, you can do it here. Agape Love offers opportunities to expand your vision, to make connections that encompass your spirit, body and soul. Agape Love is creating a vast network of Christians, coming together so that wherever you go you will feel right at home.
