I was bound by addictions, an abusive past, suicide attempts, and bulimia. I had tried getting help from so many other places, but I continually relapsed.
During my time at Mercy, I learned the tools to live in freedom. While life is not perfect or easy, I am living successfully free from my past! I'm now working with at-risk youth and giving them hope that was offered to me at Mercy!
I would be dead if it hadnt been for Mercy Multiplied. God used this place to save my life! Share this review: Flag review. I came to the program 9 years ago as a last chance after struggling for almost 10 years with an eating disorder, self-harm and depression among other things.
The Mercy staff exhibited God's love and grace in a way I'd never experienced before. God began to work in my heart in an awesome way. A heart that had turned to stone began to beat and feel again. I'm so grateful for the part Mercy has played in my journey. If it weren't for Mercy, I probably wouldn't be here today. Mercy has changed my life. I was able to gain the skills I needed to life a productive and successful life. I was dealing with depressed and anixety to the point of hospitalization.
Suicide seemed to be all I could think about. When my mother found mercy and I finally agreed to go I found a new life. I graduated mercy almost 7 years ago and I will be graduating in May with a masters in social work. Thank the Lord. I was a resident of Mercy for almost eight months, having just recently graduated. My first couple hours as a resident I realized the staff was not only welcoming but wanting to show that no matter my past, I was loved and valued.
Through a process of unbecoming who I thought I was, I began to see who God created me to be. Every one of the staff was patient with me, taught me skills needed for life, cried with me and laughed with me. One of the important lessons I learned from my counselor was that there is nothing I can do to earn love, I simply am loved already. Mercy is a safe place where I shared my deepest pain and was allowed to be heard, be seen, reflect, cry, heal and grow.
I am beyond words that God brought me to a place where I could have my mind renewed and where I learned my value. This program and everyone who works for it is anointed, gifted and an absolute blessing. Erin Gray L. Finding this organization has enabled me to pursue my lifelong dream of helping people get free from life controlling issue like eating disorders.
I had given up trying until I discovered Mercy Multiplied. As a result, many more of us are being equipped to help others successfully. They are not just changing the lives of those in their homes, they are changing the lives of many more outside their homes so we can live free and help others do the same.
They are really good stewards of what they have been given. They multiply it. Though they are cost efficient, they do everything with excellence. If you are looking for an effective organization that gets results, I highly recommend this one. I was so broken when i walked into Mercy. I had tried virtually every other way of coping. I cant even say that my life had spiraled out of control because it had never been in control to begin with.
I was broken , hopeless and on a very self destructive path. I was deperate for help. I tried other programs both secular and faith based, but nothing worked. As a last ditch effort i applied to Mercy, not believing it would be different. But it was!
Mercy showed me love and grace as i struggled in the beginning. No matter how much i messed up they never gave up on me. For the first time in my life i completed something when i got my GED at 29 years old. I could not have done it with out Mercy! I believe the difference at Mercy is the emphasis of building a strong relationship with the Lord ,instead of focusing on problems.
I will have a year clean and sober in two weeks. I have not been clean of drugs, alcohol or tobacco for a year since i was a pre-teen. God used Mercy as a vessel of healing and freedom! Thank you Mercy Multiplied for helping me to find my true value and worth as a daughter of God!
Lindsey L. For over 10 years I battled with severe depression, self-harm, and suicide. I had a relationship with Jesus and found bits of temporary freedom but honestly thought I would live my whole life just wishing to be dead.
I came to Mercy completely hopeless and angry and lifeless. Through the staff and the resources given at Mercy I learned to take authority over my thoughts, practice self-compassion, and let God break down my walls.
I left Mercy with renewed hope, with joy, and a genuine love for the life God has given me! I'm still on a journey of wholeness, like all of us, but I am thriving more than ever before.
Mercy transformed my life. I am a Community Board member but I'm also a parent of a Mercy graduate. Mercy brought healing and life back to my daughter. I truly believe that if she had not gone to Mercy she would probably not be alive now. Ever since she graduated, my husband and I have been involved as much as we can to give back to Mercy and to reach the lives of other young women. We love being on the Community Board and we totally believe in the mission and results of Mercy through the power of Jesus.
Mercy Multiplied is the only place I have seen lives truly transform. Since the girls get to come free of charge they get the time they need to really find the root of all what we call in society- their problems.
I first found out about Mercy when I was in college and I couldn't believe when I first visited the Nashville home how beautiful it was. Mercy believes in excellence in all assets of the services they offer.
What is cool now, seven years later, I actually got to be part of the outreach events Mercy is now doing. Now they are offering their same principles they use with the girls at the home to us in the community in workshop form. I absolutely love Mpower, their two day workshop. It truly gave me permission to work with those who wanted help, who ready to change and I have seen God show up in big ways!
Mercy Multiplied plays such an effective role in our communities and nation. It provides a safe haven to young ladies for healing, nurturing and freedom. I proudly support Mercy Multiplied, it's vision and mission.
I would highly recommend anyone looking for worthy cause to support to consider Mercy Multiplied. This place is changing lives and hearts and our world is becoming a better place because of it.
This is an amazing organization. They invest in every person that comes through those doors. I see the girls change from the first day to the graduation. They are so full of hope and joy! Their testimonies are so inspiring and touching. You can see that only God set them free and changed them. The have a new smile and new life. Mercy Multiplied was a great experience for me. This program helped me glow again.
Through this program I learned how valuable, worthy, and am loved by God. He loves me just as I am. I also learned that my destiny does not have to be dictated by my history. I can start a new as I have been made new in Christ.
Mercy Multiplied helped me see how much I am loved. Mercy Multiplied gave me space to learn and begin to master tools that would allow me to live an emotionally healthy lifestyle.
Before Mercy, I was struggling with a form of depression and making poor choices in my personal life and felt like I was in a cycle I couldn't break.
Thankfully during my 6 months there I experienced radical growth as I was loved and supported by the amazing staff. I'm so incredibly grateful for my time there, even with all the ups and downs that come with living in a group home, it was totally worth it. Mercy Multiplied had such an amazing impact on my life.
I was struggling with so many lifelong issues that could have killed me but because of Mercy I was able to be restored and set on the path of freedom.
Rating: 4. Operation Second Chance is awesome. I currently retired and had a job lined up that ended up just being an internship that is non-paying.
With no income coming in yet from me and only my wives income we hit a wall real fast. OSC has helped relieve some stress with helping us out with are rent. They have gone above and beyond the call of duty to help us out as well as everyone else they help.
Please help get them noticed so they can keep providing support. I was a mess when I heard about this program from a friend. This program is a great program for all the girls who are struggling. I got saved while in the program, now I'm doing good. But I know God has helped me through it all.
I definitely recomend it! I came to Mercy for an internship at the corporate office in Nashville, and I loved it! I spent most of my time with the corporate staff, but I also got the opportunity to hang out with the residents in the home. To me, this was the most rewarding time! I have never experienced a group of people so committed to following the Word of God.
This is Kingdom work! I was desperate for help, and turned to Mercy Multiplied because I couldn't afford any additional treatment and it was free of charge. Little did I know that this place would be what would help to change my life for the better.
It was scary going to a place I knew little about and was also away from my hometown, but I wouldn't change my experience for anything. Can't thank this place and everyone's support enough! I won't lie to you. This program is tough. But if you're truly ready to get freedom from your issues everything from sex trafficking and eating disorders, to self-harm and other life-controlling issues , then Mercy Multiplied is for you. This program is a free-of-charge, Christ-based and one of the best out there.
Prior to going to Mercy, my life was destroyed. Most of the destruction was self-imposed. I felt hopeless and beyond hope. I didn't care if I lived or died. Going through the program was hard. Facino your issues is hard. But the freedom is so worth it.
I graduated in , and my life is so better than it used to be. I have peace, hope, and a future. At this time, I am in Nursing school. This has been a dream since I was a little girl. I had stopped dreaming while I was struggling because I figured I'd never see my dreams come to pass. If you're looking for a program where you will be challenged, encouraged, loved and freed from your issues, this program is for you.
Hazel W. I still can not believe Mercy is free of charge! I am a graduate and when I walked through the doors of Mercy, I know its cliche, but I really didn't have any hope. I didn't believe God was good, and I was incapable of functioning in this life because of my struggles with PTSD, self-harm, and drug and alcohol abuse.
At Mercy I didn't just find a religion, I found a relationship with God who is good. I also received tools that I use to this day to get me through the adversity and trials that continue to happen even on this side of Mercy. Mere words cannot express how giving and life changing Mercy is for those lucky enough to be a resident there.
Mercy Ministries now Mercy Multiplied is an absolutely amazing place! I spent six months at the California home in , due to a long battle with an eating disorder. It was here that I was shown the path to true freedom, and I learned that it was a choice that I could make!
God worked in my life in so many ways through Mercy, and showed me that HIS truth is what sets free the captive! The staff is absolutely amazing and the program is adjusted to your specific needs. I strongly recommend Mercy!!!
It definetly equips you with the tools to overcome the struggles you are facing and walk out true freedom in your life, with the strength of Christ!
I know it is scary to take the step and apply, but I promise it is so worth it!!! My life was completely transformed because of my time at Mercy Multiplied. Prior to Mercy I spent years in and out of psychiatric hospitals, rehabs, and treatment centers.
Nothing brought me any lasting change. Mercy was the only place that helped me get to the root of my issues instead of just addressing my behaviors. Mercy provided me with a safe and loving home environment where I could really heal. Since being at Mercy I've lived the last 6. God used Mercy Multplied to literally save my life. From the age of five I lived in fear because of sexual and verbal abuse, and by the age of eleven I became actively suicidal. I was depressed and anxious, and to cope with family dysfunction and extremely low self esteem and worth, I turned to anorexia and self harm.
After deciding to become a Christian, I was surprised that my issues didn't just go away. I lived my adult years trying to be perfect and good enough in everyone's eyes. I hated who I thought I was, which pushed me further into suicide and depression, and I felt I needed to hide the depth of my darkness from other Christians, because if they saw how dead I was inside they would tell me I wasn't good enough.
In the months before applying for Mercy, I did anything to numb the pain I was in- the eating disorder, pills, alcohol, and promiscuity. I had no hope and I was just waiting for the time when the suicide plan would actually work.
When I applied for Mercy, I knew getting there was truly life or death for me. Being at Mercy was one of the hardest things I have ever done, and there were several times that I wanted to give up, but in my time there the staff loved me in ways I needed, as well as in ways I didn't understand we're loving at first. But the biggest thing in my time there is that God showed up in my life there. God can show up anywhere, but my life felt so overwhelmingly dark and hopeless, and not only did I need to come to the end of myself to see I needed God, that I couldn't be enough apart from Him, but He also had to bring me to a safe and loving environment where I could work through and let go of past hurts, and to believe that He really has life and an amazing future for me.
I am so thankful for my 8 months at Mercy, my life is forever changed and I have a hope that cannot be taken from me. Hard days have come and gone since then, but I don't lose hope because my hope is not in my feelings or circumstances, my hope is in the powerful and loving God that not only saved my life, but gave me a desire to live and has made my life into something beautiful!
If you are struggling with any life controlling issue and need help, God will show up for you at this place! I have seen so many lives transformed and saved because of Mercy, but the reason why I know God's power is all over this organization is because I have experienced it in my own life!
Rating: 1. I had a horrible experience at Mercy ministries. I was there for 8 months BC they kept giving me the run around abt graduating and eventually kicked me out 3 days before I was to graduate. The first counseling session I told the councler that the biggest thing for me was that I needed to get the help at Mercy but I know I'll need aftercare and to not go straight back into the environment Ieft.
She promised they had an after care plan and help set everything up. Well since I got kicked out alllll my aftercare plans fell through and I was right back where I was to begin with literally no aftercare accountability. But did they care? Hell no! Onfact my councler ignored menafter onwas told inwas beimg kicked out for saying the F word. Mind you I did the entire program and was there 2 months longer then the average girl. And you want to know what the director, had to say?
I know you're going to be right back where you left off". I felt so much rejection there and didn't find! I felt like if your story wasn't traumatic enough for them to publicize, then you weren't important.
I gained 25lbs while there BC they force you to eat large meals. They basically forced God down your throat. The weekend staff was a joke that so obviously hated their jobs and would go on power trips. My mom went into a coma and I wanted to call my dad and they said no.. BC they can. They had no sympathy or compassion.
I was so incredibility miserable and lonely while I was there. I guess it just wasn't the right place for me but it did get me sober and back on the right path. Shortly after being kicked out I moved to Texas to start over and I met my husband and we have a beautiful daughter : I've been clean and living right for over 2 years now. Which is complete opposite of what the staff memebers said would happen. Everyones experience is different and its definitely helped a lot of ppl but if you aren't that damaged and have a strong will..
I suggest finding something less intense lol. Comments 1. We are sorry you did not feel you benefitted from your experience at Mercy, as we strive to help every young woman who enters our free-of-charge program. From your post, it sounds as though you have found freedom, and we are delighted to hear this! Mercy Ministries, now Mercy Multiplied, taught me what it looks like to truly have a relationship with Christ.
They taught me how to choose Him over any other addiction or negative coping mechanism. Mercy showed me how to have an abundant life. Sure, it was tough work: physically, emotionally, and spiritually. However, it was worth it. Through Mercy, I gained endurance, strength, power of choice, and a voice I didn't know I had.
Mercy is a vessel for God to show young women their true identity in Christ. They showed me how to make the choice to make Jesus the Lord of my life instead of my life controlling issues. There wasn't any love at Mercy Ministries, staff and the director were rude. I was kicked out within a month and a half. They were rude staff and qite frankly mean. I tried to call the treatment center and as soon as I would call the call would end within a minute of me talking to thwm.
They don't care about the girls they serve at least I don't think so. I came home worse than I was. I became angry cuz of the way I was treated. I ended up locking myself in my room and for nearly two years I did that.
I am barely getting my life back together. I don't reccomend this place and I don't feel it deserves any stars. I know that nothing happens on accident but my time at mercy challenged me to stand up for for who I was in Christ.
The counselors there I believe don't have adequate experience to work with people with eating disorders. I was overweight. I had to exercise while everyone was doing fun stuff. They don't have registered dietitians they took me off a prescribed meal plan from one. They tried to make my BMI my worth but thankfully after leaving Mercy God helped me to see past one belief system and see who he really was and that I was his child no matter what I looked like a person.
They make it harder there for girls with eating disorders. If someone overweight it's even harder. It's not worth it to go to find out. Rating: 3. Hi, I am looking into treatment options. I researched this organization because I wanted reviews that would be honest, truthful and aid in my making a wise choice in choosing Mercy. However, I see conflicting reviews. Some people state that they had wonderful experiences and that Mercy was a great place while others give rather drastic accounts.
Most of the reviews on here are from donors and not actual clients that are able to shed light on whether this is a sound organization. I will keep searching I am also perplexed as to why there are not reviews in the star range.
It seems that people that have posted here have either hated the program or loved it so much that they cannot even fathom any idea of disliking any aspect: this is concerning because it shows that there is some discrepancy somewhere that needs to be figured out. Just my thoughts. If anyone would like to clarify things for me, that would be great. It was nine years ago, October 25th , that I entered the doors of Mercy Ministries.
I was scared, nervous, and desperate for help. For years I had struggled with an eating disorder and depression, but I found myself near death one year into my marriage. I was afraid that my husband would wake up one morning only to find that I had quit breathing. I knew I needed help, but in all the years that I struggled hospitalization, medication, and therapy proved ineffective.
When I was presented with the idea of Mercy I thought it sounded too good to be true, but I felt God nudging me to pursue the application. I did and before I knew it I was leaving my husband and beginning my journey to recovery. What I didn't realize, however, is that I would also be starting a new relationship, with God that is. While I was at Mercy I not only received healing from an eating disorder, but I also discovered what it meant to have an intimate relationship with our amazing God.
The staff at Mercy prayed over me, guided me, supported me, and listened to me. I was not merely a "patient," rather I was a sister in Christ. I can't say enough about how wonderful Mercy Ministries is. I will forever be grateful for all the that God has done, blessed me with and for guiding me to Mercy.
On an end note, when doctors told me I would not have children as a result of so many years of bodily harm, I rested on what I learned while I was Mercy. That is, with God ALL things are possible!!! I am so excited to share that as of today my husband and I have been blessed with two beautiful, healthy children. Joshua is three and Faith will one this month. God is good, all the time!!! Thank you God, Mercy and Nancy Alcorn!!!
Before I came to Mercy Ministries I was broken and hurting. I was sexually abused as a child by all of the men in my life that were supposed to protect me. As a young teenager I started looking for love in guys and in attention.
But I knew that I needed a change I just had no idea where to get it from.
