Mercy Ministries - Lives transformed. Hope restored.

Our Mission

Mercy Ministries Canada exists to provide opportunities for young women to experience God's unconditional love, forgiveness and life-transforming power.

Our Vision

Mercy Ministries Canada is committed to being an effective and well-respected global organization, dedicated to transforming lives of generations searching for truth and wholeness.

Our Core Principles

We take young women in free of charge.

We give 10% to other ministries.

We never accept money with strings attached  or that may limit our freedom to share Christ.

John & Helen Burns

 John and Helen Burns serve on the Mercy Ministries of Canada Board. They also pastor Relate Church, a thriving family church with three worship centres in the Greater Vancouver area. John and Helen travel internationally, speaking on topics including marriage, family and relationships. They are gifted authors and hosts of the television show, Relate.

Helen Burns first heard Nancy Alcorn, Mercy Ministries founder, speak in Australia. She was impacted by the life-changing work she was doing with young women. After all, Helen and John know firsthand what an eating disorder can do to a family - their daughter battled with one for ten years. "I knew God was asking me to launch out and initiate Mercy Ministries in Canada" says Helen. "John and I became so passionate about providing a refuge of safety, hope and faith for our young women."
