Hope Lives Here is a year-end celebration of the hope, healing, and restoration happening across the Hill Country. Mercy Gate provides faith-based restoration, trauma-informed care, counseling, advocacy, safe housing, and ongoing support for women and children impacted by sexual trauma and exploitation.
This year, that hope comes to life through two Hope in the Hill Country events, one in Kerrville and one in Bandera, alongside our year-end giving campaign with a goal of raising $200,000 by December 31st. There are many ways to come alongside Mercy Gate and help continue this life-changing work.
"I stand here today as living proof that there is hope in the Hill Country. Through Mercy Gate, Jesus met me in the middle of my mess, chased me down with His love, and made all things new, giving me a whole new life."
-Jess Coronado, Program Graduate
