Mercy Ministries

I just have to share about what a priveledge it is to work for an organization that is truly changing lives...and I am seeing it first hand! If you are ever in the area you should schedule a time for a tour of the home to see first hand the unconditional love, exceptional living conditions and life changing power of Christ when you walk through those doors. One of the greatest things about this program is...it's completely free of charge!! I have not found another residential counseling program that is free of charge. This is just one of the many reasons why it WORKS! We want the girls to know that we are not trying to make money on their problems and our love is unconditional...just like God's love.

Our founder, Nancy Alcorn has an amazing story of how God led her to start Mercy Ministries 25 years ago. I cannot tell you how REAL and straighforward Nancy is about these issues and getting free from them. She has never let anything persuade her to waiver on any of the principals God gave her to begin this amazing ministry, and so He continues to bless it! Read about Nancy Alcorn and the beginning of Mercy Ministries here.

We rely SOLEY on private donations (through individuals, churches and business) so we can have the freedom to share Christ...the only TRUE live changer. Without that, the program would not be as successful as it is today. There has been an abundance of graduates writing in to tell us how they are doing and just to testify that God has changed lives for the better! You can read those letters here.

Thanks for taking the time to read this...if you have any questions about getting involved with Mercy through either volunteering, donating, or raising awareness among your community or with your church, please contact me!

I am so thrilled that you have the opportunity and blessing to work at Mercy! I have seen how it has changed you just being there. I am so happy every day to hear the excitement in your voice and the wonderful stories of love and faith that you have shared with me. I want to work there, too! Do they need teachers??? hehe
Whitney, continue to spread the word and stand strong that God is in control and will bless Mercy Ministries! You are all doing an important work and changing lives. You are pulling girls up out of the pit of hell! Of course Satan is P-O'd! Praise God for Mercy!
Love you,

Mercy is doing an incredible job helping young women and the women I know who work there are incredible, selfless and those who's examples of love and service can and should be followed!
