As I tread into the month of March, fresh off the heels of February and the #LoveMercyProject, the only sentiment I can continually feel comes from Romans 8. “What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” Six months ago, when we founded Mercy Branch Inc., […]
Jesus had this incredible way of cutting straight to the point. He would say just a few words, maybe a little story, and cut straight through our excuses, and philosophies, our distractions, and get right to the point He was striving to make. It is a quality I am fascinated by. In Matthew 6, Jesus […]
Allow me to introduce you to one of our board members. It is fitting that she is the first board member I introduce to you, as she was the first person I called when we began the process of founding Mercy Branch. I tell Bethany that she is my first adopted daughter. Although that is […]
This is a question that has been asked of us from time to time. As we meet with various people and explain to them what our heart and passion is concerning Mercy Branch, as we attempt to help people understand our two-fold mission (Guest House and Street Kids), the question is raised: Where is the […]

We are so thrilled to be on this fund raising journey for Mercy Branch, and it has been awesome to see all the ways God has provided in the midst of this journey. It has been humbling to see the ways that God has moved people to come alongside us on this journey. Having said […]
News is surfacing that two Somali bombers inadvertently took their life in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia while building a bomb presumably to use at the World Cup qualifier on Sunday. With that, the question of safety will certainly be raised once again. Is it safe for you to go there? The answer is simple. Yes, because […]
Today Tiffany wrote about Doing It Scared. It is something that really resonates with how I am feeling. It has been such an encouragement to see God move people to come around and support our journey. We did a little promotional video to try and explain what we are doing or maybe why we are […]
Thank you for believing in us. It is crazy at times to sit back and realize how many people really do believe in us. We are working really hard to do everything ethically, transparently, and legally. We are trying to maximize our experience, grow from our mistakes, and make the most of our successes. And […]
