Immeasurable Impact

THE GLOBAL AND LOCAL IMPACT IS Immeasurable

Our world is guilty of a short attention span. We rush to respond to crisis, and then we often move on… and it’s no wonder because our world is in constant crisis.

At Mercy House Global, we stay. We are called to the Bible’s three most vulnerable people groups: orphans, widows, and refugees. When others move on, we dig deep.

Your incredible support has made this possible. The maternal healthcare work and artisan development among orphans and widows in Kenya is long-term. Our refugee ministry in Houston’s diverse community is extensive.

This commitment to our mission is thriving. Despite the challenges we face in this postpandemic economic climate, we are forging ahead in hope.

This year, Mercy House Global has:

✚ Celebrated six new babies in Kenya at Rehema House in the first six months of the year

✚ Welcomed six new pregnant teens in the last six months of 2022

✚ Raised more than $100,000 for ministry partners in Ukraine

✚ Lost our USA home base (offices and warehouse) of six years and signed a lease for a new and improved space for the next three years

✚ Hired three additional newly-arrived refugees from Afghanistan as artisans in Houston and provided work for additional Afghan women through Fair Trade Friday

✚ Trained the 16 women artisans of Have Hope in Kenya to become basket weavers

✚ Hosted quarterly empowerment lunches in Houston for refugee women from ten countries

✚ Started weekly English classes in a refugee apartment complex

✚ Supported a new artisan group called Forged in Hope as a part of a commitment to provide ongoing work for 17 new Kenyan artisans from Karama Collection (who had to close their doors earlier this year)

✚ Implemented EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) among USA staff

✚ Experienced first year of declining sales

Despite so many hardships in the past couple of years, you can see that God has a good plan for this ministry. We are more focused, more prepared, more enthusiastic, and more determined to continue this Gospel-driven work among the vulnerable. We stay. We fight. We trust God for the impossible.
