Here is our latest family picture. I think about how long many of you have followed us on our journey. You have essentially watched the Grizzard Girls grow up. Do you remember this picture from 2019?

Spring Break 2026

In March, during spring break, LMI hosted a team of 11 to continue our work in the Texas Hill Country, which was flooded last year. We built chicken coops at 2 different locations and did a lot of debris removal. We prayed and loved on these people that have been forgotten as most of the recovery is done. We sent a second team out there to finish projects we could not complete. Once again I can’t explain how much it means to me to be doing this with my family.

Unfortunately Miriam could not make this outreach because she was preparing her application to Dental Hygiene School. She has been working so hard even when her knee was troubling her.. Guess what!!!! She made it!

Kyrgyzstan

Just this week we had a team return from Kyrgyzstan where they assisted with a local church’s first summer kids camp. The team thought they would be serving the church's children but must of the children that came were m*slim. We had to be very careful about what we shared prior to their return. The good news is going forth deep into areas we had no idea would be available to our young organization.

What is next for LMI?

We have also been building an outreach in July to Portland, Oregon. This will have a strong evangelistic outreach while we look for ways we can provide relief to those in need.

Finally

This Sunday, June 14, Love Mercy International had our first Fundraiser. We have been working on this Fundraiser since March when we found out our lease ends in August. The owners would like to sell and we would like to buy. Please say a prayer as the owners are asking for $1,050,000.00. We have already leased $480,000 and hope to raise the rest. This is the office and there is a large arena in the back. I will have more pictures of it in our next update.


Katharina completed a DiscipleShip Training School in 2003 which allows us to have our gifts processed through YWAM in her name.
You can send funds to help us in three ways.
