"Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world." James 1:27

Mercy's Reach...Who Are We

Hi and welcome to Mercy's Reach!  We are a child sponsorship program for street kids in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Africa.  We are partnering with missionaries in Congo who run a home for street kids, taking them off the streets and putting them in a loving environment where they can learn, grow, be taught spiritually and hopefully thrive.  The life these kids experience on the streets is not an easy one, so the work this ministry is doing is so vital.  These kids sleep in abandoned shacks, they have no one to look out for them, they scavenge what they can for food, and they experience brutal atrocities at the hands of the other street kids (rapings, beatings, burnings, etc). Their life is full of unknowns, scary and hard.  They experience things no child should ever have to go through.   BUT! there is hope in the midst of this dark world of street children.  God is sovereign in every life, even the lives of these precious children, and through the missionaries we are working with, He is providing hope, healing and a future for these kids.



Our very first group of kids at Elikia Center


We would love for you to get involved with us...by praying and giving financially to help provide for these children.  If you would like more information, please click on the Get Involved tab above.   There are also pictures and stories of the children there for you to take a look at, if you click on The Children tab.  

  With your help and God's working, we CAN change the world, one life at a time.
