Mercy Teams International (MTI) is a christian humanitarian organization, creating opportunities for men and women of all ages and from all nations to serve in countries throughout South East Asia.

Our primary objective in serving is to reduce suffering and oppression amongst the poor and needy, by demonstrating love in action.

Mercy Teams vision is to be salt and light amongst the poor, ministering into the distress and suffering of children and families at risk. To understand the concept of being “salt” in a Community is to understand the reality of mixing and living amongst deprived families, to influence values in community, to bring balance into lives that are broken and hurting, to return hope to children who have been abused and are suffering. So just as Salt has healing properties, cleanses and adds seasoning and balance, so our Mercy Team workers bring value and new hope into broken lives. A little salt can go a long way, and in the same way, our workers can bring profound change to those who are suffering .

Mercy Team workers are also called to function as “light' in a dark place, to bring comfort to the oppressed, and a light for the child in crisis who needs a friend.  That is why Mercy Team workers are called to 'let their light shine".

All our Mercy Teams workers are taught to see the Poor, as people like you and I, having significance and deserving respect.

So our objective is to be like salt and light in the communities we are part of, thru medical aid, educational support & training, income generation projects and helping children at-risk (eg children who may be victims of sexual and physical abuse, child labour, poor health or illiteracy).

Thru our Workers MTI aims to bring Good News to children and families at risk.
