MERCY MINISTRY
WHAT IS MERCY MINISTRY
Not only are we building an orphanage to rescue hundreds of children off the streets, but we also feed, clothe, and supply basic needs to families in some of the poorest communities in Mexico because the children are hungry NOW. Many of these people live in extreme poverty. On our “Mercy Ministry” days, we purchase food for 300 families that will last up to a week. 100's of people line up for hours to get food so they can feed their family. Because of your giving, children walk away with a smile on their faces. But, often times, 100's of extra families show up in hopes to receive even a bag of rice, but are only turned away hungry. The need is great, but we are undeterred. Over the years, we have seen huge changes in the poverty-stricken areas. We are seeing the cardboard homes slowly disappear because of the food & basic supplies we give. Our giving literally helps them improve their lives.
