Our Mission
Love Mercy International
Igniting Hope, Driving Transformation Worldwide
Love Mercy International (LMI) was created to start a movement – to mobilize a generation to care for our neighbors, whether they are next door or on the next continent.
We have 4 Pillars of Impact
Refugees
Poverty Alleviation
Local Outreach
Disaster Relief
How our Pillars Impact Lives
We work with refugees who in an instant find themselves without a home or knowing where their next meal will come from.
We offer immediate resources in their time of need.
We work with widows and vulnerable women in developing nations who are at risk for prostitution or trafficking.
LMI helps them start small businesses by providing initial consultation and start-up capital as well as ongoing mentorship.
We care about the needs of our local community.
One of the immediate needs LMI will provide is to offer hope and encouragement for so many of our young people who are at risk for suicide, through hosting various community events.
We go to communities who have endured natural disasters
These include devastating and destructive disasters such as an earthquake or tornado. Stepping into these real challenging and painful circumstances changes the whole trajectory of people's lives.
