Encouraging the World

to live for jesus through intimacy with God

God wasn’t a topic of conversation throughout Melissa’s childhood.  In fact, she didn’t find Christ until the age of 27, in February 2001, when God stopped her in her tracks and changed everything as a new, stay-at-home mom fresh out of corporate America.  It was the greatest day of her life!  She did a 180 and went from running from God to running to God and has been living with Him intimately ever after.  Melissa’s heart beats to live in radical obedience and exhort others to do the same.  After salvation, and a powerful transformation in her own life, she witnessed her husband, mother, father, sister, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, three children, father-in-law, friends, acquaintances, and even strangers surrender their lives to Christ one by one thereafter.  She experienced the second and third greatest spiritual days of her life at the 2023 Asbury Revival when the Lord yet again set her heart ablaze with greater fire and intensity! As a gifted storyteller, communicator, and encourager, Melissa allows the Holy Spirit to use her everyday situations and life lessons to bring to life the transforming power of God’s word.

Melissa is a graduate of Michigan State University, a graduate of the Forge Firebrand Itinerant Speaking Apprenticeship, has a Certificate of Theology through Cornerstone Institute of Ministry and was radically impacted by God yet again at the 2023 Asbury Revival. She has been married to her amazing husband, Scott, since 1996, and together they have three grown children. They share a passion for serving the Lord in their local church, community, around the world, and every place in between the Lord takes them. They work hard and play hard and love to explore new tropical destinations via boat at sea, underwater in scuba gear, and from sandy seashores—leaving footprints and fingerprints of Christ everywhere they go! Her family strives to live by the words spoken in Joshua 24:15, “But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”
