A few days ago, I was reflecting back to when I did the internship 2 years ago. I remember what a struggle it was for me to accept that challenge because I knew in my heart that once I moved down to KCK, there was no turning back for me. I also remember that summer and how much I prayed for strong, Godly, men and women to walk alongside me with the teens of our community. I found favor with the teen girls and began a Purity Bible Study that we will be continuing this summer. We are going to be reading The Lies Young Women Believe and the Truth That Sets Them Free. I am so excited to go even deeper with the young women of Mission Adelante and allow them to to see the freedom that lies in Christ alone.
I am very excited that after MUCH prayer, God has also blessed us with some amazing, Godly men to lead the teen boys. This summer, the guys will be doing outdoor activities such as fishing, rock climbing, hiking, and camping with time allotted for discussion. The hope is that once the boys are out in nature and in touch with the creative side of God, they will open up and see God's great love for them. It will also be an opportunity for the boys to see that they have similar struggles but that they can lean on each other.
It's so beautiful to me that as I look around Mission Adelante, I see so many volunteers and donors that sacrifice their time, hearts, and prayers to glorify God everyday. The most touching thing to me personally is to know that I am not fighting alone for the hearts of the kids. There is an army of love that is fighting right alongside me!

Megan,
Thank you for sharing about the incredible work that you are doing. What a blessing that the teen boys will have the leadership and positive modeling that you have provided for the girls. May God continue to bless you, your program and the participants.
