Investing in the lives of eager students
Melissa graduated from Bible College in 2005 with a Bachelor’s degree in Christian Ministry. She then spent that summer on an internship in Thailand and during that time began to experience a special love for the Thai people. In time, it became clear that God was opening the door for her to return to Thailand, and in September 2006, Melissa affiliated with NMSI. Melissa returned to Thailand in 2007 and is grateful to now be in her second term of service!
God has led Melissa to work with girls and young women to help them experience the love of Christ and find healing and experience freedom in Him. For now, that means serving with a fabulous Christian-based NGO in Chiang Mai, Thailand, that works with young ethnic minority women who are at risk for, or victims of, human trafficking, forced labor, and sexual abuse.
Melissa’s ministry currently includes teaching English to residents while also providing assistance to national staff in regards to resident care. She assists with English language correspondence and English language proficiency for staff. In addition, Melissa pursues small grant opportunities, draft reports, and assist with donor and guest relations.
