Mercy Ministries of Canada is a free-of-charge, non-profit residential home for young women that face life-controlling issues such as drug and alcohol addiction, depression, eating disorders, unplanned pregnancy, physical and sexual abuse and self-harm. Our Christ-centred approach to healing allows young women to permanently stop destructive cycles and prepares them to take hope out into their communities.
We purchased the 4.3 acres in a peaceful rural area of south Surrey, completely debt-free, thanks to generous individuals, churches, businesses, ministries and organizations all across Canada. The home was previously a residential facility but required rezoning and extensive renovation. The construction and design teams, partnering with tireless volunteers, have prepared a beautiful, state-of-the-art residential home for 20 young women who need Mercy. Every detail – from the bedding to the classrooms to the counselling offices - has been seen as an opportunity to express worth and value, mercy and love to the precious young women that will make their home there.
