Warmhearted Wednesday 💛

Meet Gabriella*! Her mentor, Lindsey, describes her as curious:

“Gabriella always comes ready and eager to read. She remembers the Bible stories from last week and is curious to see what will happen next.”

There is something so sweet about a child’s sense of wonder! Asking questions and exploring new ideas sparks imagination and grows a love of learning.

We love seeing Gabriella’s excitement as she reads God’s Word. Her eagerness reminds us that there is always more to learn about God’s goodness, His character, and the incredible story He is telling.

📚 Literacy Tip Tuesday: Following Along While Reading

Learning to read takes practice, and sometimes the simplest strategies can make a big difference! One helpful technique is using a finger to follow along with the words on a page.

This helps students keep track of their place, connect written words with spoken words, and build confidence as readers. For students learning English, this extra support can make reading feel more manageable as they develop word recognition and fluency.

Every small step matters as students build the skills they need to become confident, independent readers!

Meet a Mentor 💙

Matthew was inspired by Scripture’s call to love the foreigner and welcome the stranger. Through Refugee Resources, he’s found an opportunity to live that out by walking alongside his student and helping him feel welcomed, supported, and encouraged.

Each week, they learn and grow together, whether they’re practicing reading strategies, vocabulary, memorizing Scripture, or praying. Matthew loves his student’s infectious energy and big heart, and he shared that their relationship has taught him gratitude and contentment, reminding him to find joy in both the big and little things.

One of his favorite memories was celebrating his student’s birthday at Activate with his siblings. The best part of that day was seeing the joy on his student’s face as he felt loved and celebrated.

We’re so grateful for mentors like Matthew who invest their time and for the ways God uses simple, everyday moments to build trust, friendship, and connection.

“Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” –Matthew 9:37-38

Would you join us in praying for the Lord to raise up workers for this harvest? We have boys waiting for mentors, and we are asking the Lord to stir the hearts of men and women to say yes to His invitation to walk alongside these students.

Through these relationships, students have the opportunity to hear the hope of the Gospel, strengthen their literacy skills, and build a trusting relationship with a mentor whom the Lord can use to help change the trajectory of their lives.

If you or someone you know is looking for a way to serve in Dallas, we invite you to be part of what God is doing through Refugee Resources. Our next Volunteer Orientation is tomorrow evening, Monday, October 19th.

🍂 Our preschoolers had so much fun getting into the fall spirit with a special craft this week! As they used their fingers to paint fall leaves on a tree, they got to explore their creativity while learning about the beauty of the season. We love seeing their little hands at work and watching their imaginations grow! 🍁

God has called us to love our neighbors, and we have the opportunity to live that out right here in Dallas. ❤️

In this video, our mentors share why the work of Refugee Resources matters and what it looks like to serve the students and families in our community. Through literacy, one-on-one mentorship, and meaningful relationships, we get to walk alongside students, encourage them, and share the hope of the Gospel.

We’re so thankful for the mentors who faithfully show up each week and invest in the lives of their students. Together, we get to live on mission in our own city, sharing the love of Jesus and expanding His Kingdom.

One of the sweetest parts of our 20-year celebration was hearing from some of the mentors who have been part of Refugee Resources’ story. They shared what led them to serve, meaningful moments with their students, the importance of investing in the lives of our neighbors, and the ways they’ve seen God at work through this ministry.

Their stories were a beautiful reminder of God’s faithfulness over the past 20 years. Through the everyday moments of showing up, building relationships, and walking alongside students, we see how God moves through people who are willing to say yes to serving Him.

A heartfelt thank you to Connor Smith, Emily Zaldivar, Owen & Kyle Eldersveld, and the Blanchard Family for sharing your experiences and giving us a glimpse into what God is doing through Refugee Resources. We’re so grateful for your heart to serve and the love you pour into the lives of our students! ❤️

Warmhearted Wednesday 💛

Meet Abel*! When asked to describe Abel, his mentor, Tara, chose two words: kindness and funniness.

“Abel has the sweetest heart! He is always thoughtful of others, especially his brothers and sisters! And his sense of humor and smile bring so much joy and fun to all who are lucky enough to know him!”

Abel is a sweet example of how kindness and joy can go hand in hand. The thoughtfulness and humor he brings to everyday moments are part of what makes him so special. We’re grateful for the opportunity to know Abel and for the ways he makes our Reading Circle community a little brighter!

📚 Literacy Tip Tuesday: Learning new words builds stronger readers!

Understanding the meaning of a word is just as important as being able to read it. Learning definitions helps students expand their vocabulary and make sense of what they’re reading.

These students are working together to write definitions for new words they encounter in their reading. For students learning English, these small steps help make unfamiliar words more meaningful and easier to recognize when they encounter them again.

Every new word opens the door to greater understanding!

Memorization Monday 📖

Our students use a variety of strategies to memorize Bible verses each week. This student is practicing Psalm 51:10 using the vanishing word method—erasing a few words at a time and reciting the verse until all the words are gone. It’s a fun challenge and especially helpful for visual learners!

“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.” --Psalm 51:10

In this verse, David is praying for God to change him from the inside out. He is asking God to cleanse his heart, give him a desire to follow Him, and strengthen him to remain faithful.

It’s a beautiful reminder that true transformation begins with God working in our hearts. As our students memorize these words, we pray they grow to understand what it means to have a heart that desires God and a spirit that remains rooted in Him.
