ROOTED &
WALKING
in Grace, Faith, and LOVE
The earth is the LORD’S, and
everything in it, the world, and all who live in it;
for he founded it on the seas and established
it on the waters.
Psalm 24: 1-2
O U R M I S S I O N
Driven by a heart to serve and a longing to reflect the heart of Jesus, our mission is to make disciples rooted in Christ—leading souls into repentance, nurturing spiritual growth, and restoring lives into reconciliation with the Father through the love of Jesus Christ.
Who
We Are
Melissa and her husband Ivan share the love of the Lord with others. With hearts ignited by the same grace that found them, they make it their mission to bring the Good News to every place God opens for them. They distribute Bibles to those who need them, recognizing that Scripture is the living, breathing word that plants and nourishes faith. They minister through heartfelt prayer, lifting burdens and celebrating breakthroughs alongside those they serve. Through personal testimony, Melissa and Ivan show how Jesus has transformed their lives, offering real hope to people who are searching.
Their ministry is marked by persistent intercession—standing in the gap for individuals, families, and communities—and by teaching repentance and discipleship that lead to genuine spiritual growth. They invest time in guiding new believers through the basics of faith, helping them to understand salvation, to walk in obedience, and to cultivate an intimate relationship with Christ. Above all, Melissa and Ivan’s heart is for the salvation of souls: they long to see people encounter Jesus, turn from what hinders them, and enter into the abundant, lasting life He promises. With compassion, patience, and boldness, they point everyone they meet to the hope and life-changing truth found in Jesus, trusting the Holy Spirit to bring conviction, healing, and new birth.
Guest Appearances
Melissa shares her testimony of leaving New Age and finding Jesus — how the Lord completely transformed her life. Once deeply involved in mediumship, teaching tarot, and promoting oneness, she had urged others to believe that all paths lead to heaven. But through God’s grace and the power of prayer, she was saved.
She recounts a powerful near-death experience and a life-changing encounter with Jesus, plus terrifying encounters with demonic activity and warnings from the Lord before she landed in the ICU with pneumonia. In that moment of crisis she cried out to God, and vowed that if He spared her life she would turn away from her ways. She experienced separation from Christ. She had an encounter with Jesus, and He shattered every deception she was trapped in; Jesus is real, heaven is real, and so is hell. Everything she saw in heaven was confirmed in the Bible. That encounter changed her life forever. Her testimony became a bridge for others.

It All Starts With a Decision
Say Yes to Jesus
It all starts with a decision! If you want a relationship with the Lord and want to give your life to Him, come as you are. Repeat this prayer after me:
Lord, I am a sinner. I cannot do this alone. I need You! I want to get to know You. Please come into my life today. I believe You are the Son of God and that You, Jesus, are Lord. Be my Savior. Thank You for dying for my sins. Make me a new creation. Amen.
Romans 10:9 (NIV)
If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
