Mercy House
facilitates healing for hurting women in need of protection and
shelter. Reaching out to the homeless and/or drug addicted women of
the community, Mercy House provides temporary housing and an
opportunity to overcome hardships.
The house
is a part of the Life Recovery Ministries of the First United
Pentecostal Church of Cookeville, TN. It is managed by a group of
volunteers under the direction of Pastor Ron Phillips and program
coordinators, Johnathan and Charlotte Sanders.
Independent Living
The home, named "Mercy House", is a
transitional living facility serving those who are homeless or
needing a change in environment. Women who qualify will receive
shelter, training, education, and assistance
to aid them in gaining
the skills and resources to become self-sufficient.
Any person who is admitted to the
home agrees to participate in a program designed for them. This plan
is specific to each person, addressing the areas in which they need
the most assistance or training |
