ABOUT MERCY MINISTRIES
M
ercy
Ministries exists to allow young women to
experience God's unconditional love, forgiveness,
and life-transforming power. We provide residential programs
free of charge to young women ages 13-28 who are dealing
with life-controlling issues such as eating disorders, self-harm,
addictions, sexualabuse, unplanned pregnancy,and depression.
Our approach addresses the underlying roots of these issues
by addressing the whole person-spiritual,
emotional-and
physical, and
produces more than just changed behavior; the
Mercy Ministries program changes hearts and stops destructive
cycles.
Founded in 1983 by Nancy Alcorn, Mercy Ministries
currently operates in four U.S. states and in Australia,
Canada, New Zealand, Peru, and the UK, with plans for
additional U.S. and international locations underway. We are
blessed to have connecting relationships with many different
Christian congregations but are not affiliated with any church,
organization, or denomination.
Residents enter Mercy Ministries on a voluntary basis and
stay an average of six months. Our program includes lifeskills training and educational opportunities that help ensure
the success of our graduates. Our goal is to have each young
woman not only complete the program but also discover the
purpose for her life and bring value to her community as a
productive citizen.
