A Note from Cindy:
Mercy has three homes for troubled girls in the U.S. and several overseas.  One opened in Fenton about 3 years ago, and I've been volunteering there since the first of the year. It serves girls ages 13 to 28 who are dealing with issues such as abuse, addictions, eating disorders, self-harm etc. The girls live at the home free-of-charge and spend their time studying the Bible and meeting with counselors, among other things. The average stay is 9 months, and almost all of them leave completely changed. It's an incredible ministry. (file:///C:/www.MercyMinistries.org, if you're interested)
