Both are shy when you first meet them, but once they've warmed up to you; they are pretty outgoing! Both Kayla and Corrie love swimming. They also really love camp! Kayla has been to KAA and Corrie is a Pine Cove kid. We are excited to see what the Lord has in store for these two!

This month's book recommendation is: Just Mercy written by Bryan Stevenson. Just Mercy is a powerful true story about the transformative power of mercy. It follows the story of Stevenson as a young lawyer and one of his most formative cases. The case of Walter McMillian, a man wrongfully accused of a crime that he didn't commit and sentenced to death row. As a result, Stevenson's views on justice and mercy would be radically changed forever.

January is national mentoring month! To celebrate we wanted to highlight one of our alumni mentors Melissa Nash and her relationship with her mentee, Diamond!

Mercy Street loves highlighting not only the transformation of the mentees in our program, but the transformation of the mentors as well!

Merry Christmas to you and your family! As we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, we are grateful for the Christ-centered mutually transforming relationships taking place in West and South Dallas through our sports, mentoring, and leadership institute.

From allowing an athlete to experience mentorship through coaching, to helping sustain Christian programming for parents, to providing a summer of workplace readiness training for one high schooler, there’s plenty of ways for you to give this season!

Mercy Street would like to thank the Moozie Foundation for their most generous gift to help support our Leadership Institute.

Mercy Street launched 16 years ago with a simple idea: to build lifelong mutually-transforming relationships between the neighbors of West Dallas and greater Dallas.
