What an incredible week this has been at Mission Arlington®.  We hear so much in our day about students who get in trouble over Spring Break, or use their Spring Break to go to the beach.  That’s usually what makes the news, isn’t it?

Yet, this past week, in our own community, hundreds of students gave up their week to serve the Lord, and to make a difference here. These students (from across the country and from multiple cities around Texas) came to lead Rainbow Express, Mission Arlington®’s version of a “backyard Bible club.”

They arrived at the mission early each morning, then spread out across the community to play games, sing songs, create crafts, and to teach God’s word with the children who attended.  They would do this twice a day, from Monday – Thursday and get back into their Mission Arlington® hosted beds (places to sleep on the floor) each night.

These students led Rainbow Express® in 92 locations this week. 5,829 children attended a Rainbow Express® event altogether, and 213 of these children accepted Christ.

It has been an incredible week to serve our Lord here.  We are so grateful for your constant support.
