A very nice American family living and working in Kenya emailed asking about a service project for their sons over the holidays.

We love receiving these kind of emails: Mercy House is about families.

We suggested helping clean up the grounds, but they didn't stop there. They asked Maureen what needed to be done. She told them a generous donor had just sent money for a chicken coop and she needed to hire someone to build it.

This kind family offered to build it themselves! Maureen ordered the supplies and we're able to use the extra money for other needs.

They did an amazing job and we're looking forward to fresh eggs! This is also a great opportunity to teach our girls about raising poultry.

We were blessed to be served by this generous family. God cares about the little things!
