Ministry newsletter—February 2023

a note from our founder

Mercy House Global exists to empower vulnerable families by creating opportunities that provide hope. We get to do this in so many ways with countless people from around the world, and we are excited to see what God will do in this new year.

Last year, we focused on growth—unseen and seen (I Cor. 4:18) and also worked to overcome some growing pains. God was faithful!

As a ministry, we prayerfully choose a new theme every year. For 2023, it is Thrive based on Psalm 92:13, “They are planted in the house of the Lord; They flourish in the courts of our God.” We are trusting God for His provision to continue this good work. It’s time to thrive!

It’s such an honor to lead this ministry into its 13th year as the CEO. I covet your prayers for wisdom in these challenging times. We are so thankful for your support.

update from rehema house

Growth isn’t always measured in dollars and charts, and it is isn’t always exponential. Seven more pregnant teens were welcomed at Rehema House in Kenya in November and December 2022—making the total 76 growing bellies and babies. This is the kind of growth we get excited about!

We also welcomed two precious babies in the last few weeks. Your financial support is providing for real-life miracles!

END OF YEAR REPORT FOR DONORS

The 2022 end-of-year report was recently emailed to donors. It highlights God’s faithfulness this past year. We may not always know what He is doing, but we know what He has done. Looking back reminds us of all the incredible miracles along the way.
