Founder’s Letter

A LETTER

Dear friends,

2021—What a year! It was hard and it was beautiful. We have been so encouraged by your faithfulness to God and to this ministry in these challenging days. Shining our light has never been harder, more critical, or more noticeable in our dark world.

More than ever, this eleventh year has shown us how much God cares for the lost ones. We read in the Gospel of Luke about how much attention and time Jesus expends on a single lost item. Whether it’s a coin, a sheep, or a son, He stresses in these parables that when the shepherd finds the lost, he rejoices over it more than the ninety-nine who did not go astray.

Whether she’s a scared pregnant teen hiding in a sugar cane field, a person in North America seeking something money can’t buy, someone who shares what they have been given, or an artisan in a remote village trying to feed her family—God cares. He rescues all of us—sometimes from dire situations and sometimes from ourselves. He sends someone to the sugar cane field in the dead of night; He redeems our consumerism; He shows us that it’s better to give than to receive; He provides daily bread, just in time.

Sixty-seven teen moms, their babies and extended families, thousands of artisans around the globe, donors, shoppers, club members, staff in Kenya and the USA—countless lives changed through the work of Mercy House Global.

The miracles recorded in this report are testimony to the faithfulness of God and His relentless, overwhelming love for humanity as a whole and His loving, never-ending pursuit of every lost lamb.
