Follow our story

We pursue children like Jesus pursues us; never stopping, never giving up.
We believe family is the vehicle God uses for healing, and work toward family reunification or domestic foster care for every child in our program. We make sure every child is given a safe place to sleep, food, clothing, education, medical care, counseling, and recreation.

Mercy Branch is a movement that forges a new way to do missions. A way that is actually different.

We say yes to holistic care of each person in our organization. We say no to behavioralism as a means to success. We ask questions like, how would Jesus approach this? We recognize children's rights, and the rights of their parents. We give voice to Ethiopian leadership to direct the ministry. We dare to remember the forgotten and bring hope to the hopeless. We stand as one Street Team from two continents, for one goal: To love vulnerable children as though they were our own, recognizing that they are not ours.

We are Mercy Branch, and we are different.
