I grew up in a very controlling family and believed a lot of lies about myself. I was sexually abused and struggled with depression, self-harm, and suicide. I really hated my life. I knew that God had more for me and then Nancy Alcorn came and spoke at my school. I knew Mercy could help me to be free from these issues and that my life could be different.

While at Mercy, God has helped me to see that I don’t have to be the one that holds everything together. I know now that He wants to take my burdens. I found my value and my identity in Christ.

After graduation, I plan to go to Victory Bible Institute’s School of Worship. I feel like God is calling me to full-time ministry. I have just loved being here. Coming to Mercy was the best decision I ever made!
