A trip: The catalyst to a God-sized dream for an ordinary American family.

A vision: A maternity home in Africa.

The reason:

The Mercy House exists to provide alternative options for pregnant girls living in the streets of Kenya. The Mercy House will aid them in nutrition, housing, prenatal care, counseling, Biblical teaching and job skills for sustainable living.

The verse. The command. The call to action.

He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. ~Micah 6:8

I haven’t been able to stop thinking about The Mercy House since I heard about it. I’ve doodled the logo on random pieces of paper. I’ve dreamt about it. I’ve prayed about it. You see it wasn’t enough for me to just hear about it and think “Oh, that’s nice” like we so often do. No, I have felt compelled to do something. To be obedient to the prompting of the Holy Spirit.

I’ve donated some of my handmade gifts to The Mercy House Etsy Shop. It’s just a drop in the bucket, but I’d love it if you went over there and do your shopping thing to help support them! (The Christmas shopping countdown has begun…)

And look what else you can get over there…
