Gospel Singer, Terry Warren, Visits Mercy Ministries

Residents enjoyed their special worship time led by country and gospel singer, Terry Warren, who not only performs inspirational vocals, but also shares a down-to-earth message of hope and healing. Terry is always excited and honored to use his talent and his ministry to bless Mercy's residents. Terry shared his testimony of how God has been working through him to overcome negative thinking and is blessing his desire to share Christ through his music. The girls especially loved his song “Just a Prayer Away” that spoke of how during our darkest valleys in life we should call upon God for strength.
