“I was definitely becoming super thin. All my clothes were baggy. My hair was getting thinner trying to hide it and do it sneakily.”
Those are the first words in a video testimonial recently produced by the Christian Broadcasting Network and featured on the 700 Club. In the video, a twenty-something named Jessica describes what happened to her during her time in the Residential Counseling Program at Mercy Multiplied.
“Everything changed and I knew God was real and I knew that He saw me, and I knew that He cared about me…”
When Jessica entered the Mercy home, she weighed less than 100 pounds. While at Mercy, she began to experience complete life transformation. Jessica graduated from the six-to-nine-month Residential Counseling Program at Mercy in 2014. Today she is married and celebrating life with two children.
“God did deliver me from these eating disorders and just the grip they had over my life. I am just blown away by where I’m at and the freedom that God has given me and blessed me with…”
Jessica is one of hundreds of Mercy graduates who choose to share their stories as a way of encouraging other young women with similar struggles.
Mercy has been serving young women like Jessica since 1983. Mercy’s Residential Counseling Program is voluntary, biblically based, and helps young women ages 13-32 break free from life-controlling issues and situations, including anxiety, depression, abuse, eating disorders, self-harm, addictions, unplanned pregnancy, and sex trafficking. The program is free of charge to participants because of Mercy’s community of generous donors.
