Mercy Street Dallas

Over the weekend, we celebrated a milestone that deserves to be honored in a big way. 🎓 Congratulations to Mercy Street mentee, Edgar, on graduating from high school today and becoming the first in his family to do so. This is a huge accomplishment, one marked by perseverance, growth, hard work, and the faithfulness of God over his life.

We also celebrate the commitment, love, and steady presence of his mentor, Brian Roy, our Director of Sports Operations. Brian’s investment in Edgar reflects the heart of mentoring at Mercy Street: showing up, walking alongside, speaking life, sharing Jesus, and believing in the purpose God has placed in each young person.

Mentoring is not a program on a calendar. It is a mutually transforming relationship where lives are shaped, faith is strengthened, and the future of generations are changed!

Edgar, we are so proud of you. Your Mercy Street family is cheering you on as you step into this next chapter with courage, confidence, and purpose. God is not finished writing your story!

😄 Yesterday’s Mercy Street Staff Retreat was a meaningful reminder that we do more than work together—we walk together, worship together, encourage one another, and stay united in a shared mission to serve West and South Dallas children and families with excellence and love.

We are deeply grateful to a generous donor who made this day of rejuvenation, connection, laughter, and reflection possible by sowing back into the team that pours so much into others every day. What a gift it was to pause, recharge, and celebrate the people behind the mission.

We left refreshed, encouraged, and even more committed to the work ahead!

🏐 Volleyball Championship Day brought the energy to Mercy Street! The Lakewest gym was full of excitement, teamwork, cheering families, and unforgettable moments all day long.

So proud of every player, coach, volunteer, and family who helped make this season special.

⚾️ Baseball Championship Day was a success! Congratulations to our Minors and Majors division champs, pictured here celebrating a great season of teamwork, growth, and hard-earned wins.

We are also grateful for Coach Gabe, a new Dodgers coach from Watermark Church who stepped in this year to lead and encourage our players. His parents came out to support championship day, and his mom even wore a shirt with a picture of Gabe from when he was a little Dodger himself. Full-circle moments like that remind us how special this community is.

Thank you to every coach, parent, volunteer, and player who helped make this season meaningful!
