When the weight of financial and emotional struggles weigh down an entire community, can one visionary effort hold the power to lift them all?

For mental health therapist and father of four, Anthony Hemmert's path to aiding others began with a heartfelt desire to do more than just hand out money. Together with his wife Emily, the Hemmerts founded the Marcovia Project in Honduras—a holistic nonprofit that does far more than address financial strain. By offering small business microloans, educational scholarships, and spiritual mentorship, they’ve empowered individuals and families to lift themselves from the snares of poverty, remain united, and build the Kingdom of God in their own homeland.

In this inspiring episode of Latter-day Lights, Anthony shares poignant stories of how the Marcovia Project fosters both economic and emotional well-being. From children getting the chance to attend school, to struggling parents who discover renewed faith in their ability to provide, each life changed testifies to the truth that if we truly walk with someone through their trials, miracles can unfold.

Tune in and learn how simple acts of sacrifice, faith, and heartfelt connection can break the cycle of destitution, and brighten futures for generations to come.

When your world crumbles beneath the weight of sudden loss, can a fleeting miracle open your eyes to the closeness of Heaven?

For mother, florist, and part-time mortuary hairdresser, Karen Poulsen, the unexpected passing of her beloved son Tanner tore her world apart—leaving a gaping wound that no earthly comfort could seem to fill. But in those darkest hours, she felt him through mundane yet extraordinary moments that could only be reasoned by his presence. Described as "tender mercies," they revealed to her that our loved ones never truly leave us. From a family picture fiasco, to a heartfelt Christmas celebration, Karen’s stories affirm that every prayer echoes with God’s compassion if we’re willing to listen.

Holding fast to her son’s love for Lego building and his dream of easing others’ burdens, Karen launched the “I Love Us Project.” By working with organizations to distribute Lego sets to individuals with intellectual disabilities, she honors Tanner’s memory and extends the kind of care and creativity he cherished so deeply.

Join us in this moving episode of Latter-day Lights, where Karen’s journey illustrates that God’s tender mercies—however subtle or surprising—can fill even the deepest void with the promise of eternal love, hope, and purpose.
