Mercy Ministries is a 501( c)(3) non-profit corporation founded in 2006
to further the Kingdom of God in Jesus Christ. Our mission statement
is simply: “We exist to provide life essential services that restore
dignity and hope to people in need.”
Our vision is to establish self-perpetuating centers internationally that that provide food, clothing, shelter, a safe place to sleep, counseling, vocational training, and hope in order to enable people to re-enter society as individuals with dignity.
Currently we are pursuing our mission and our vision on two fronts: on one front, we are reaching into El Rio (an unincorporated district of Oxnard), California. Since January 2008 we have been operating a food pantry every Saturday where we feeding between 35 to 40+ families each week. We are also tutoring elementary age children two days a week. Also we are in the planning stages to open a transitional living home for women who are single parents.Our goal is to have the home open by year end 2008.
On another front, Mercy Ministries continues its ministry efforts in Russia, planting churches, starting non-profits and NGOs such as rescue missions and drug-rehab clinics.
