Canton that has proven to yield aweinspiring results over the last 20
years. Together, this partnership
will not only help children learn in a
safe, loving, and structured environment, but will strengthen the community by teaching children to cling
to Christ as they prepare to live their
lives in a world that may not always
provide a safe, loving, and structured
Christ-centered environment.”

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.
