If you know me very well, you know that I support The Mercy House. It is such a blessing to not only watch God transform lives around the globe, but to be a part of it!
The Mercy House reaches out to young pregnant girls in Kenya who would otherwise likely turn to backstreet abortions. This maternity home cares for the girls and their babies for a minimum of two to four years, educating and teaching sustainable skills so the girls can support their families. They provide a safe house, nutrition, prenatal care, counseling, and-most importantly-discipleship.
There are so many ways to help, but my current favorite is to shop Mercy! If you are on my Christmas list (does anyone else start shopping in September?!), don't be surprised if you find some of these under the tree:
These are made by the girls at the Mercy House, and the girls earn 25% from each item that is sold to help them start a business or further their education once they graduate from the program. You can even help by sending in your discarded magazines for them to turn into more beads!
Shopping with a purpose works for me. Will you join me in shopping Mercy this year??
Congrats, Holli! You won the Faith Deployed giveaway from my blog! Send me your address and I'll get the books in the mail asap. Either theweiffenbachs@gmail.com or FB works, too.
