After returning from India on July 1st, my stay in India this time was exhausting but rewarding.  The need continues to grow for housing for the children as well as supporting funds to fully equip the need of clothing, school, transportation and food.  We have now grown to over 1000 children and over 90 widows, staying in different homes. It is our vision to provide a place where all the children and adults can reside together.  The school is up and going with over 400 students and only 5 teachers.  Please pray for the property God has given us a vision for.

We took a team of 6 this time along with a film crew to document the child slavery that takes place in India which is truly heartbreaking.  Our vision is to show the Premier in November 2011.  The entire thought of child slavery left me feeling lost and burdened by such a large task however the owner of the mines has set already over 60 children free as we provide housing for them.  We need prayers and support for this.

Once we have a bigger facility and room for more team members, our plans are to open a missions school for others to capture the same experience in loving on the children giving them hope for their future and future generations.

MISSION BASE INDIA:  October of 2009

Mercy 29 India is now official.  Location: Kakinada,Andhra Pradesh,India  We have an orphanage in with children who all needs sponsors. Praveen Chakravarthy resides and oversees Mercy29 India.

Parents sell their daughters when they enter into women hood for their family feeding.To provide the good food,shelter,education for a child for a month it costs US $ 40
We also teach the tailoring classes for the girls, so they will have a trade for supporting.
At present there are 460 children who are orphaned and in need of regular monthly sponsors.
And at Johnnie E. Phillips tailoring center there are 12 girls who were been rescued and brought them to the home of mercy 29 india.  At present we are planning to get some sewing machines for them .

SPONSORS NEEDED: IMMEDIATE RESPONSE TO RESCUE Our trip to India exposed us to a much greater need than what we ever imagined.  While there we experienced children who hadn’t ate for days, sickness in which would consume their life within the week if we hadn’t responded in giving medicine, homeless orphans begging.   If you want to be a part in this rescue, please contact him on Mercy 29 website or with an email.

PROJECT AFRICA:

In the fall of 2008, my sons, Lyle and Bryson went to Africa for three months.  While staying in Mozambique Lyle’s heart was changed forever.  He felt compassion and love for the children there, not only for the compound he was staying in but of a small community called Noviane.  He there, met a his first daughter Ziana.  As he felt compelled to oversee the other children there, he also was overwhelmed to take care of the widows.  Mercy 29 was born within a few short weeks from returning to the US.

Lyle returned this summer for three months on staff for Iris Ministries there in Mozambique.  They have updated the compound, added a new gate and a new roof.  Our houses are excellent compared to the others in the village.  We thank all of our supporters and are making plans in summer of 2010 to visit with a host of families who wish to go and meet their children they sponsor.

Donations can be made by contacting Lyle@mercy29.org.

the eyes of the blind, the feet of the lame, the father of the needy

“For when the ear heard, it called me blessed,
And when the eye saw, it gave witness of me,
Because I delivered the poor who cried for help,
And the orphan who had no helper.
The blessing of the one ready to perish came upon me,
And I made the widow’s heart sing for joy.
I put on righteousness, and it clothed me;
My justice was like a robe and a turban.
I was eyes to the blind
And feet to the lame.
I was a father to the needy,
And I investigated the case which I did not know.
I broke the jaws of the wicked
And snatched the prey from his teeth.”

-Job 29.11-17

Just like Job, we can stand for justice and mercy.  This charge can no longer become so easily overlooked and meaningless.  People are  not just statistics and no one deserves a lonely suffering.  Another world is possible.  Mercy29 is for those who do not only believe, but will stand and take action against the silent genocide of the Earth’s invisible people.

In the world today, there an estimated 2.1 billion children “at risk”.  The destruction of children is so relentless it claims the lives of more than 30,000 a day, most due to preventable diseases.  Poverty, child labor, slavery, homelessness, sexual exploitation, aids, and war all contribute to this everyday catastrophe affecting billions.  Can this continue on our watch?

Who We Are:

Mercy29 Ministries is a (501)(c3) anti-profit organization.  We are reasonably employed by Jesus to “investigate the case of those we do not know” giving hope along with a future (Jer. 29).

What We Do:

We fight to “deliver the poor” by sponsoring orphans and helping widows.  In the future we will build homes and schools for children; clinics, centers, and farms developing sustainable communities in financially impoverished nations.

Where We Serve:

In March 2009, Mercy29 partnered with Iris Ministries, becoming responsible for the Noviane Widow’s Project in Pemba, Mozambique.  Settled just alongside Iris headquarters, our home in Noviane includes 16 children, and 6 widows.  Future plans include more homes for children in Mozambique; centers in Brazil, Portugal, South Korea, and Japan.
