Dear Friends,
Over the years, many of you have faithfully served alongside Hands of Mercy. Together we've built homes, shared meals, prayed with families, laughed, cried, and watched God do things that only He could accomplish. We are deeply grateful for the role each of you has played in this ministry.
As we look toward the future, we are working on something very special—a HōM Vision Book.
Our hope is that this book will do much more than preserve the history of Hands of Mercy. We want it to preserve the heart, the values, and the DNA of the ministry so that long after today's leaders are gone, future generations will understand that this has always been God's ministry, not ours. We want those who come after us to see His faithfulness and give Him all the glory.
One of the most important parts of this book will be the stories of people whose lives God has impacted through HōM.
Would you be willing to share one?
It could be:
A favorite memory from a build trip or pre-build.
A moment when you saw God at work.
An experience that changed your perspective or strengthened your faith.
A relationship that was formed through HōM.
A lesson God taught you through serving.
Most importantly, we'd love to hear how God used that experience in your life. Looking back, how did He shape you? What did He teach you? How has that experience continued to influence your walk with Him?
Your story doesn't have to be long or polished. Just write from your heart. We are looking for authentic testimonies of God's faithfulness.
It is our prayer that years from now, someone reading these stories will finish the book with one overwhelming conclusion:
"What a faithful God."
Thank you for considering being part of preserving this legacy for future generations. We look forward to reading your story and celebrating all that God has done.
Please also let us know if you are willing to share your name? That could be your first name only, or your first and last name if you are comfortable with that.
Please send them to me at [email protected]
To Him be the Glory,
Phil Córdova
