THE MOST AMAZING THINGS REALLY DO HAPPEN (at Mercy House!)

The picture shows Richard who has been AT Mercy House since 2004. Not only has he been a real gem as regards human relationships and community building, he has also been a house leader for some time. A person of real integrity, warmth and kindness, it is a very great loss to us but, at the same time, fantastic news for him. Two weeks ago he heard that a request for re-settlement made several years back and which he had almost forgotten, has come through. He heard that he will be resettled to Norway and there the Norwegian government gives refugees as warm welcome, a home, study opportunities and a lot more. Richard’s flight to a new world was scheduled for Saturday 19 June 2010, a very, very sudden departure. We were at least able to have a farewell party for him on Sunday 13 June and he is seen here with his parting gift in his hand. We wish Richard everything of the best in his new life and have no doubt at all that he will be a huge blessing to everyone, no matter where God chooses to place him in this world. We thank you for everything you have done for our community Richard and GO WELL.
