Disciples of Mercy School/Church/Farm






Mike - On Wednesday morning Becky and I had the privilege of going on a private tour of the Disciples of Mercy compound where we live, and new building sites, by our good friend Natalie who runs it. What an amazing story they have! Everything was built because of the faithful donations of people mostly from Germany, who are non-Christians. It's quite amazing how God has moved to build this facility. Disciples of Mercy has it's own dairy farm with 48 cows, 150 chickens that they use for eggs and meat, and it's own bakery where they sell fresh buns and bread. They have over 500 students who attend the school, from nursery to high school. They also have a special needs unit, which has 15-30 students in it, and they have a church in the compound as well.
Natalie also drove us to their new building site, where they are in the midst of building a high school. Construction looks a LOT different here! It's all done by human hands, without machines. It's hard work under the hot sun, but they do a great job.
The pictures you see are some sweet shots of the tour, and some of the kids at the compound.
