Introduction
Mercy Children’s
Ministry is a Christian, faith-based, non-profit organization. It is registered
under the act of Social Welfare of Nepal. Mercy Children’s Ministry is
dedicated to transforming the lives of children.
Mercy
Children’s Ministry believes that children are a heritage from the Lord (Psalms
127:3). Lamentations 2:19 urges God’s
people to “Arise, cry out in the night, as the watches of the night begin; pour
out your heart like water in the presence of the Lord. Lift up your hands to
him for the lives of your children, who faint from hunger at the head of every
street.” Countless Nepali
children have become victims of prostitution, child labor and abandonment. Mercy
Children’s Ministry is devoted to offer these children a lifeline of hope. Some
of the children are orphans, some are from impoverished tribal mountain
villages, and others have been rescued off the streets. Through the love of
Christ, these children are filled with hope to live a life of purpose.
Background
Sher Lama worked with Youth For Christ
for a few years in the late 90’s and as his ministry was coming to an end he
began praying for God's calling on his life. He asked God what he should do and
as he was praying, he saw a big field filled with many banana trees that were
cut off but from those cut off banana trees, tiny new banana plants with two or
three leaves were coming up. He asked God in his prayer, what is this? Then he heard a voice within his heart say, “This is your ministry.” He new God was
telling him to start a children’s home.
In 2001, Sher Lama met a man from the
USA who began to support his street children’s program. In 2003, by God’s
grace, Sher Lama and his wife Kalpana opened Mercy Children’s Home in Pokhara,
Nepal. They went through many struggles and challenges but God was faithful to
provided their every need. In 2008, Sher Lama registered Mercy Children’s Home
in the government of Nepal. Now, they have 18 children in Pokhara and 13 in
Kathmandu.
