About Mercy Tree Ministries
Mercy Tree Ministries is a national organization that empowers single parents to make positive changes in their circumstances by equipping caring Christians to serve them.
With over 20 years experience in transitional benevolent ministry, we know what it takes to provide practical solutions to impossible situations.
Some people need help because they are in temporary crisis, such as a recent separation, job loss, or unexpected expenses. In today's economy, many people who have typically cared for themselves are suddenly finding themselves in need. Others have had a lifetime of poverty or near poverty and don't know how to begin moving from it. In fact, they don't even know that they can. Still others are in families where someone is struggling with addiction. Regardless of how they find themselves in need, their crises has limited their resources, perspective, and strength. They are overwhelmed. They reach out for assistance hoping for a temporary abatement. What they really need is hope.
Mercy Tree's philosophy is that caring, helping people, and prayer means more than the funds you can give. In fact, hope in Christ is the best gift we can give another person. Our goal is to train leaders to correctly discern and provide biblical compassion to people who are doing all they can do to stretch income. Our method is relationship-based and encourages rewards for positive steps.
