He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; he seats them with princes and has them inherit a throne of honor.

Below is a slide show of the pics from that day. 7 of the 9 grads are already employed. Please pray for all of them as they transition to work, or continue their job search.

If so you can take that gift and use it for the glory of God to serve others. There are Advance students and grads who have a desire to improve their reading and all they need is someone to teach them. You can help by donating as little as an hour a week of your time. If you can read you are qualified! Please email andrew@advancememphis.org. We also have a need for reading books for our students. These can be purchased used through amazon.com for a couple dollars a piece here. If you can purchase a book and ship it to Advance Memphis, our students would appreciate it!
