Higher Ground Visits Mercy Ministries

Residents were also absolutely thrilled to enjoy a special private concert from Higher Ground, a dynamic gospel trio that not only makes amazing music, but touches hearts in a deep and personal way. Wayne Hilliard, Eddie Combs and Travis Adams were excited and honored to be able to share their musical talents and personal ministry with our girls and staff. The girls especially loved their song, Woman in the House, that spoke of Gods special design for women through their faith. Even more than the incredible music, was the way the men connected with our girls with their contagious and joyful personalities!
