One patient of Mercy Gate Ministries carried deep wounds from abuse and exploitation, facing despair and uncertainty about her future. One day, while 5 other patients were being baptized in the Frio River, this one patient believed in Jesus as Lord and Savior. Despite the devastation of the July 4th flood, which swept through Kerr County and destroyed homes, businesses, and shelter, God’s presence was evident. Patients experienced His comfort and hope, seeing His hand guide them through chaos and loss. Since that day, they have grown in faith, joy, and courage, serving others, rebuilding their community, and shining as living testimonies of Christ’s restoration and love.

Mercy Gate Ministries is a 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to demonstrate the life-changing gospel of Jesus Christ to those affected by human trafficking and sexual exploitation. Our vision is to break the bonds of captivity, impart power over victimization, and provide relational advocacy to help survivors of sexual trauma transition to healthy contributors to society.
