To abide means to stay. It means to continue in the same place for a long time… Faithfulness in a constant direction. When we abide, God produces fruit. We understand that apart from Him, we can do nothing. But in Him and through Him, anything is possible!
 
Marginalized people find themselves in vulnerable positions because they have been left behind or pushed to the sides of society. At Mercy House Global, we stay because God stays with us. We are vulnerable without Him.
 
Abide is another word from home. At Mercy House Global, we house vulnerable people in practical ways—through empowerment by creating opportunities that provide hope.
 
Sometimes opportunities look like a nutritious meal and cozy bed, a hard-to-get education, a baby’s full cheeks and belly laugh. Sometimes hope looks like a basket made of sisal or a candle made by an overcomer. It often looks like two together, rather than one alone .
