Today we celebrate Melissa’s birthday!

(Guest Author: Allen Batts)

Melissa is passionate for the Lord, loves her family and friends, and exudes the joy of Christ to those around her.

Melissa is a strong and faithful woman. When she knows God is leading her to do something, she jumps in with both feet.

She is selfless and loyal. More often than not, she is spending herself for others – be it to God, our kiddos, family, or friends, shes there.

She is adventurous. Though times have become busy as we begin to transition out of Alaska, Melissa enjoys a good adventure: Hiking, trying new things, moving to West Africa… she’s in.

Melissa also loves coffee! Whenever she needs a time to reset or get away for a moment, coffee is usually involved.

She is a blessing and a light wherever she is.

Happy Birthday, Melissa!
