What an incredible week we have had kicking off Mercy Street’s new Summer Leadership Institute.  With 12 junior interns, four senior interns, and a handful of dedicated students coming to learn and serve, it’s safe to say I couldn’t be more excited about the summer.

Some highlights from week 1:
-          Mrs. Jackie Pugh from New Life Bible Fellowship coming to talk to us about ministry with excellence
-          A bike tour of West Dallas as we rode around the community promoting our Super Thursdays elementary program and talking with people in the neighborhoods
-          Miss Jill leading a devotional on spiritual disciplines
-          Getting passes to the Y and the boys hoopin’ it up
-          VBS on Tuesday night at Oak Cliff Bible fellowship where we heard a powerful message about waiting on the Lord and surrendering everything to Him.  And the worship music was off the chain!
-          Serving at Edison Middle School as they prepare to install air conditioning in the offices and renovate parts of the building
-          An abundance of food, fellowship and fun!

God has been so good to us as we begin this summer.  I am in awe of His provision in making this program happen and in gathering about 15 students unto Himself who are committed to learning more about Jesus and what it looks like to walk in relationship with Him.  After one of the busiest weeks I’ve had in a while, I am only moved to praise God for His grace, faithfulness, and abundant love.

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever!  Amen.   - Ephesians 3:20-21

- Rachel Kramer, Sr. Intern 2012
