"Mercy Ministries is a nonprofit organization designed to meet the needs of young women ages 13 – 28 facing life-controlling problems such as eating disorders, self-harm, abusive relationship patterns, addictions, and depression.
We provide residential care, Christ-centered counseling and life skills training free of charge. The Mercy Ministries program is approximately six months and the goal is to have each young woman not only complete the program, but also to discover the purpose for her life and bring value to her community as a productive citizen.
Run for Mercy is an annual event designed to raise funds for the upcoming Mercy Ministries home outside Sacramento, California. This 22,000 square foot, 40-bed home is beautifully situated in Lincoln among a newly developed residential community.
Through Run for Mercy we want to raise awareness of the issues young women face today and involve people of all churches and denominations as well as businesses to help change the lives of hurting young women. For more information about Mercy Ministries visit www.mercyministries.org." Close

Mercy Ministries of Colorado was founded by Fred and Karleen Dewey in 1986. They saw the need to assist the poor children of this world in Jesus' name. In the late 80's, they took in foster children, gave out food boxes to needy families, and taught parenting skills to Denver's inter-city teen mothers. MM also began supporting the EvanFree Christian Child Development Centers of Cebu, in the Philippines. Currently there are 12 centers on the island of Cebu, and MM continues to sponsor three of them. In the past twenty years, thousands of poor children have graduated from these centers and gone on to attend elementary school. They were given a good start in life and hope for their future.
In 1991, Fred and Karleen traveled to Romania to evaluate the needs of Romanian orphans. Shocked by the neglectful conditions of the children, the Deweys took teams to Romania to teach orphanage staff and prepare foster families to take the children into their families. In 2000, the Loving Arms team from Mercy Ministries began annual mission trips to Marghita, Romania, to offer summer camps, held in the Black Forest of Transylvania, to teen orphans.
After retiring, Fred and Karleen moved to Marghita, Romania in 2005 where they have a "hands on" ministry to teen orphans. They partner with Fundatia Crestina Elim (FCE), a Christian Romanian foundation, and they are very involved in leadership roles. FCE directly cares for more than 300 children. Seventy children and youth are daily under FCE's care through a private orphanage, transit homes, foster care and the Final Help program. The purpose of Mercy Ministries and FCE is to provide a safe environment where children can feel loved and cared for, and also to offer them hope for their future. We encourage the orphans to believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
