Hannan Mercy Ministries Opens Fourth Home in California

Mercy Ministries, the Nashville-based Christian counselors accused of performing exorcisms in lieu of traditional medicine and targeting gays for conversion, is opening its fourth home. Located in Lincoln, California, a Sacramento suburb, the 23,000 square foot facility is Mercy's fourth in the U.S. and first on the Left Coast. Since being outed for their less than charitable views towards lesbians and prescription pills in a Scene cover story last October, Mercy has lost a major donor and gone on the offensive. Filing a series of baseless infringement lawsuits against YouTube detractors and attributing media criticism to the work of some nameless "enemy." (We're guessing that's code for Satan.) But all the bad press doesn't seem to be hurting Mercy when it comes to fundraising. The $6 million dollar Lincoln home came courtesy of private donations and a large gift from a major contributor. Expect the fawning "what a great addition to our community" article from a Sacramento paper in roughly 6-8 months. With the "maybe casting out demons isn't the most appropriate way to treat depression" follow-up come sometime in late 2010.

Back in 1998,one of MM former staff members who was an intracal part of MM for years had an affair with my former girlfriend and business partner. Both women(read: lesbians) This organization is extremely hypocritical and derisive.
MM says they do their work in the "name of Jesus". Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing.

MM did exorcisms on me and it made my depression a lot worse because it added fear to everything. They told me evil spirits were out to get me.
It didn't help at all it just made things worse. I started being scared of things I wasn't scared of before.
They really believe what they tell you though, that evil spirits are the cause of every non physical illness.
It's sad they're opening another house to manipulate and hurt even more people with their weird beliefs. When you see past their fake, shiny "public image" surface you clearly see they aren't really a Christian organization.
