At the beginning of October, many middle schoolers along with their mentors gathered at Mercy Street to hear from eight loving and passionate adults to learn about different career options. It was incredible to watch how engaged the students were in listening to the adults share their testimony of what they do on a daily basis in their job, the course of schooling they took to be successful in their career, and what they intentionally denied their flesh with the things of this world, in order to achieve their dreams in their occupation.
