Alison

While at Mercy, the Lord restored me. Although it has been really hard to work through my past and pain, He has healed me and shown me how to walk in the freedom and authority I have as a believer. I’ve learned to see God much more clearly and know that He was not the author of my pain. I am so joyful and grateful for all the Lord has done in my life and heart.
After Mercy, I plan to finish my last semester of college with a double major in psychology and Spanish. After college, I plan to go to seminary and get a degree in Biblical counseling. I know that God is calling me to help others who are struggling with the same things that I have overcome by His grace, and I am so excited to see all the good that God has in store for me.
Chelsi

While at Mercy, God has taken away my fear and restored my relationship with my family. Being at Mercy has been the most life-changing experience I’ve ever had! I have learned that my identity has nothing to do with what I do or how I look. I know who I am in Christ. He has healed me of all my wounds and shown me that He is the only thing I need.
After graduation, I plan to finish my bachelor’s degree in psychology and get involved in the young women’s ministry in my church.
Lauren

Being at Mercy changed my life. I now have hope for the future. I’ve learned that my past does not determine my future, and in Christ I am a new creation. I am completely free from drug addiction, and I have never experienced such joy and happiness.
After graduation, I plan to go to cosmetology school. I am so excited to finally start fulfilling my God-given destiny.
Colie

While at Mercy, God has literally saved my life. I know I am forgiven, loved and accepted by God. I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I am not my past and I have a life worth living in Him.
After graduation, I plan to work on finishing my creative writing degree. I also hope to get married someday. I want to share God’s love!
Congratulations Alison, Chelsi, Lauren and Colie! We are so proud of you! We have truly seen your lives transformed by the unconditional love of God and can’t wait to see what He has in store for you in the future!
