2021 Graduate Update

“I graduated from Mercy Multiplied in August 1997. I spent a year at Mercy dealing with the pain of years of childhood sexual abuse followed by life-controlling issues of an eating disorder, cutting, and a suicide attempt that brought all of my pain to a head.

I became a Christian while at Mercy and my life was truly changed. I learned how to apply the truth of the Word through memorization and application. That truth got me through the death of my parents and an unwanted divorce. Jesus was the only one who could heal my heart and He did and still does.

Since leaving Mercy, I earned my undergraduate and a graduate degree in social work. I currently work for hospice at a hospital. I am on a team that signs patients on to hospice who are in the hospital due to suicide, homicide, accidents, terminal illness, and COVID-19. I have had the opportunity to hold the hands of many patients as they died because families were unable to be with them. I have been able to share the love of Jesus with my patients and their families. I love what I do and I know if it weren’t for Mercy, I would not be where I am today.”
