Mission Statement 

A ministry birthed out of passion of a broken heart. A group of caring people gathered together in the name of Jesus Christ. To go to the lost and brokenhearted, to those in bondage to drugs, alcohol and all forms of addictions. To help the helpless to love the unlovable and to break the chains of bondage by the precious blood of our Savior- Jesus Christ, and by the power of the Word of God. To take His message of Love to the streets, Jails and throughout the world. To give the same comfort that God has given us.

What is our story?

Heart’s Cry Ministries is a 501-C3 non-profit ministry that operates a thrift store. Founders David and Denise Melton heard from the Lord, stepping out in faith to start Heart’s Cry. They were married May 1, 2004. Taking all that they owned and using their honeymoon money David and Denise Melton opened Heart’s Cry on May 17, 2004.
