Madison Ridgeland Academy (MRA) students working in IHS’ organic teaching garden submitted the following statement about their students involvement: “We provide service opportunities to students in order to live out the Great Commission and to expand the worldview of our students. Students find great satisfaction in serving others and it is a necessary part of a complete education.’ ‘We choose In His Steps as a partner for service because we believe strongly in the mission to which God has called IHS and its leaders and we want to partner with them in their mission for the glory of God. In addition to that, we trust the leaders of In His Steps to partner with us at MRA to disciple our students during our time serving alongside IHS.” In His Steps is developing a strong relationship with several local high schools. IHS offers service opportunities for high school students so that they may learn the importance of serving as Christ served (Mark 10:45). IHS is proud to have hosted Madison Ridgeland Academy students over the last year.
