Best of MercyToday: The Gift of Literacy Opens Doors

In most areas of the world, a person who cannot read and write lives a life of darkness and severe limitations. Literacy turns on the lights and liberates the person to vast opportunities they never had before. God has raised up a man to bring the gift of literacy to several African countries. Hear of the door-opening power of literacy, and how this gift can change lives in even bigger ways. Guest:  James Kigamwa Links: Mercy, inc. [http://bit.ly/DoingMercy]

Seeds and Harvest in Africa

with AfterWords Jesus tells us about different soils and what results to expect once seeds get sown into them. Mercy, inc. has a program that puts this parable into practice by educating Africans on farming and making disciples. While many are staying home during the pandemic, this is not an option when people are starving. Sharing the Gospel of Christ is necessary, especially when so many people are dying and could be entering eternity without Him. Our guests this week are Jim Caya, CEO of Empowering Lives International, and Beatrice Tonui Kirui of Kenya, who has a career in agriculture, farming, and the seed industry.

Best of MercyToday: God watches over His plans and His people

Mercy board chairman Dave Graffenberger was called to serve the Lord at age 14. Hear how he was protected by a circle of angels in a Haitian banana plantation. Just might give you the shivers! And how about his Dad’s prayer from 3,000 miles away?  Little did he know that Dave needed the protection at that very time.
