Mercy Ministries
We are committed to “Deeds of Mercy”, not simply “Words of Truth”
We are committed to “showing” or embodying the reality of Kingdom life through a commitment to the all-encompassing nature of salvation. The Kingdom is not simply announcement, but a supernatural healing of the wounds of the world around us. While this healing will always manifest an incomplete character, it is nonetheless an obligation for the church to seek to make this world a more “God-honoring” place in its totality by taking up the issues of health and healing, education and social issues, justice in the workplace, politics, racial prejudices and hunger and poverty.
Central to this commitment is our desire to build bridges into the various ethnic and racial communities of Roanoke. To that end we are currently partnering with the following ministries in the Roanoke Valley:
