Our summer tutoring ministry came to an end tonight with our getAhead graduation celebration. It was an incredible evening! Over 50 kids graduating and getting cheered on by their getAhead family, the Springs of Grace Church family, and many of their parents. Many of the students don’t get cheered on very often. Parents stood and yelled with joy when their child got a prize. Some sat and cried afterwards because it was so sweet to get to cheer their child on instead of getting a report about a problem to be dealt with. Interns cried (so did I) when kids they have prayed for and loved expressed so much joy!

How must our heavenly Father feel about our small spiritual successes! He came to us when we were His enemies and with sinful pasts and hopeless futures and made us His Bride! Amazing Grace!

I can’t imagine someone seeing the work of God tonight and not wanting to be a part of the Lord’s work here. What a privilege it is to get to be a part! Thank you Jesus
