Leo Habets is the CEO of Maximum Life, a web-based business. Maximum Life has partnered in the past with the New Life Network in various online ventures. He is also known as a former director of Agape Europe, serving in that position from 1987 to 1996.
Habets was trained as a graphic designer. His first professional Christian position was as director of Agape Nederlands, the Dutch ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ. In this position he founded the Christian newspaper, Uitdaging. He then moved on to become the European director of the ministry, later known as Agape Europe, a title that he brought into practice. The title was not accepted across the entire region and some Germanic countries still retain the older title of Campus Crusade for Christ (or the equivalent in the language of the country.)
Leo is the father of two daughters.

Rapids Mall is an enclosed mall located in downtown Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin. The mall features over 30 stores and restaurants, and is anchored by Family Dollar, JCPenney and Younkers.
History
Before the mall's construction, Wisconsin Rapids' downtown district consisted of a grid of streets, with discount department store Woolco at the heart. In 1976, plans were finalized to demolish many of the existing buildings around the store, and build the mall.
Rapids Mall opened in 1978, anchored by the pre-existing Woolco, along with JCPenney (which had moved from another location downtown), and Wisconsin-based Prange's. The mall featured 40 other shops, all located along the main mall concourse.
Woolco closed 1983, and remained vacant until the store was converted to to Wal-Mart in 1988. Wal-Mart closed the store in 1998 when a new Wal-Mart Supercenter was built nearby. The former Woolco/Wal-Mart building has been converted to "Centralia Center", an activity and services center for senior citizens.
In 1992, the Prange's chain was acquired by Younkers; the store at Rapids Mall, like all other Prange's stores, was re-named Younkers.
The mall has not been remodeled significantly since its opening Lighting is subdued, limited to fluorescent fixtures and skylights. There are many planters and shrubs surrounding seating areas.
Many national chains, such as Hallmark and Foot Locker, operate in the mall; a community theater is among the notable local tenants. Ever since its opening, the mall has been locally owned and operated.
