  Vision/Mission

At Mercy Street our mission is to educate, equip and empower a new generation of leaders by engaging in Christ-honoring, mutually transforming relationships with those who will bring about a positive, permanent change to West Dallas.

True and lasting community transformation comes from within. Sometimes all that is needed is an infusion of hope and mercy from the outside.

Christ established the pattern we are to follow. He came to serve, not to be served. He gave his life, so we can live. Out of His bounty we give. This is Mercy Street.

Strategy: Mentors will be matched one-on-one with each of the fourth through twelfth graders in West Dallas (2,522 students). These students are invited and encouraged to participate in Young Life. Through a demonstration of the Gospel in word and deed, the goal of these mentoring relationships is a significant improvement in educational and behavioral outcomes.
