Lizette and Fabian Mercado along with their four children were welcomed into their new home yesterday built by Mennonite Disaster Service in Far Rockaway, New York. The dedication also included a wall hanging made by the Mennonite Women USA ministry. After Super Storm Sandy in 2012 this family had very little to return to and have been living in a two-bedroom apartment with Lizette’s parents for over a year. Enjoy the pictures of their home dedication and watch the video (3 minutes) of their inspiring story of resiliency and faithfulness to God.

Lizette plays her guitar (salvaged from the storm) and sings for the dedication service.
