Mercy’s Child
“We are thankful for this opportunity to begin working with Children’s Hope International. There is such a need in the world today. As Christians, we have to do something… if through our music, we can help even one child… then we made a difference.” ~ Lou
Mercy's Child is trusting and believing with all our hearts that God will do exceedingly, abundantly above all we could ask or think. We know a great spiritual revival is breaking out in St. Louis, and our goal is to lift up the mighty name of Jesus through ministering His Word in our songs. We encourage everyone to dare to believe that there is a Love greater than what we can conceive, and that Love never fails or comes to an end, that Love is Jesus. Our determined purpose is to know Him and the power of His Resurrection, and to show Him to others.
Saints and Heroes
“We should all want to help needy children and provide them with the care that they need.” ~ Micah

In February 2007, Saints and Heroes released their first album entitled 2.28.98, referring to a significant day in Micah's history. It was a 7 song album which they engineered and produced themselves. The band is continuing to work hard independently at spreading their music across America.
Kiersten Venezia
“I’m honored to be teaming up with Children’s Hope in a new program for orphan sponsorship. Having adopted my daughter from China 8 years ago, I have a constant reminder in my house of the needs of orphan children around the world. Over 143 million children are living without adequate medical care, nutrition and shelter. Most of these children will never be adopted. They are destined to live in orphanages or on the street. In 2007, Children’s Hope was able to raise funds to give over $1.000, 000 providing food, shelter, job training and medical needs to thousands of children around the world. I can’t think of a better cause to be part of.” ~ Kiersten

Her debut album, "Good Promises", is a myriad of songs that present a positive message of faith, hope, and love. From a spiritual perspective, Kiersten's songs are a celebration of love, a reminder of God's faithfulness, and a call to worship this wonderful Savior.

We feel honored to be part of this ministry; God has already put us in a place, through our music ministry, to be able to bring awareness of the need. CHI is a solid Christian organization and we are excited to be able to help.” ~ Marlynn

Eric Prewitt
“I have recently begun to sponsor a little boy in Ethiopia. I was very moved when I read that one of his favorite things to do was “eat bread and rice.” How many children in America would think like that? Suddenly, I feel very driven to help these children. I am excited to begin working with Children’s Hope. ” ~ Eric

My two little sisters were adopted internationally and I am thankful to Children’s Hope International for the part they played in helping to bring them home. Unfortunately, there are millions of children left behind… we must do something to help.” ~ Travis
