He doesn't always play the part of Goliath...
But when he does, he'll do it while knitting.
Stay thirsty, my friends.

Our Mission Statement
" To glorify God by sharing the hope of the gospel message to the Ukrainian children and by serving the brothers and sisters at the House of Mercy. "
Who is the House of Mercy?
House of Mercy was founded in 2001 with the help of a Norwegian Christian organization called KPK-UKRAINA. At the beginning, their ministry was working with sick and disabled children, but by September 2003 House of Mercy directed their focus to street children and orphans in the Zakarpatye Region of Ukraine. Their ministry grew from feeding the children, to taking the children off the streets (and into their own homes) and providing them with education & care. By the blessing of God and through the Norwegian church's support, a large building came into their possession and in September 2005 it became home that can take up to 22 homeless children and orphans.
