The Mercy Department is the branch of Iris that assess the needs in the community and distributes resources. We are compelled by the love of God to give joyfully to those with need. “As you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday” (Is. 58:10).
We share the love of Jesus through assisting people in our communities and surrounding villages with acquisition of basic necessities such as food, clothing, property, houses, home repairs, etc. when the circumstances of their lives do not allow for them to personally acquire these necessities.
We aim to assist as many people as possible with resources acquired through donations from people around the world. Because this incoming amount is fluctuating, our month to month assistance also fluctuates.
What We Do
– Distribute food regularly to the widows, and the orphans
– Provide food assistance in the form of rice and beans
– Provide adequate housing by the purchase, construction, repair or rent assistance of homes and properties for widows with children
– Give basic resources such as clothing, bars of soap, simple beds, grass ropes to repair beds, and grass mats
– Assist people with finances for medical care and transportation for funerals
