Stories of Changed Lives…
Over the next several weeks, DayBreak will be sharing stories of some of the individuals that we work with in Lincoln Heights. Some stories will tell of how God is working in a child’s life through behavior changes or improvement in reading skills and some stories will tell of the eternal impact the gospel is having in the hearts of adults and children in Lincoln Heights.
The purpose of sharing these stories is to celebrate what God is doing in this community and to give Him all the honor and glory. We hope the stories will bring encouragement and will give you a sense of what our awesome God is doing in Washington, DC.
The first story is an update.
Most of you received a letter from me last December that told the story of Taichelle, one of the 11 year old girls that has been a part of DayBreak for the past five years. In the letter, I told a little about who Taichelle is and how we have been praying for her to have a mentor.
In June, Taichelle graduated from our after school program and from her elementary school, Arts and Technology Academy. This fall she began middle school at a nearby charter school, and I am so happy to tell you that God answered your prayers and provided a mentor for her!
In addition, through DayBreak’s connections in the community, Taichelle was accepted into Higher Achievement, a non-profit that provides middle school children from underserved areas year-round academic enrichment programs and preparation for top high school placement. And, just this morning, Taichelle’s Mom shared her school progress report with the DayBreak staff, and we saw that she has made a great start to the school year with an excellent report!
Taichelle is growing into a beautiful young lady who knows and loves God and desires to walk in His ways.
