30 hours away…
a vast canyon sprawls deep and wide…
…and the tiniest of details blossom.
30 hours away…
a mama scrubs her laundry on a stone…
…while her daughter’s toy is a tire.
30 hours away…
a playground is just feet from a cliff…
…and thirst is satisfied from ground water.
30 hours away…
there is cactus so sharp…
…and pools of turquoise so blue.
30 hours away…
Bibles are received so eagerly…
…and there’s not even standing room at church.
30 hours away…
everyone pitches in to help with dinner…
…and is heartily enjoyed by all.
30 hours away…
houses are barely adequate…
…and children must snuggle together to stay warm.
30 hours away…
school is raced to straight uphill…
…and 2 + 2 = 4 no matter what language you speak.
30 hours away…
a boy dreams of becoming a mighty warrior…
…and a girl a beautiful princess.
30 hours away…
pine needles and plants…
…become beautiful works of art.
30 hours away…
children begin to see the value of their parents’ handiwork…
…and rejoice in God’s creations.
30 hours away…
kids love to pose for the camera…
…and we enjoy every minute with them.
30 hours away…
the darkest night reveals the greatest hope.

Is there a place where you post notices of places where the Mercy Market is open and available to purchase goods? I’d love to support you but I can never find out where you are.

Hi there! If you could message me either email or facebook your location, then I can let you know when we might be in the area! When we are in our busy season, in the fall, our website has the events listed under “events”. If you follow us on facebook, I’d like to start giving a “heads up” that we will be in a particular area! Thanks for asking!
