ROOTED &
W A L K I N G
in Grace, Faith, and LOVE
Making disciples rooted in Christ. Sharing the Gospel. Serving others.
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.
About Us
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.
After becoming severely ill with pneumonia and fighting for her life in the hospital, Melissa came face-to-face with the reality of eternity. Everything she once believed began to crumble. In a moment of desperation, she cried out to Jesus, repented, and surrendered her life completely to Him.
What followed was a radical transformation. The Lord opened her eyes to the deception she had been living in and showed her that Jesus Christ is not simply one path among many—He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6).
The very things Melissa once practiced and taught, she now warns others about. God took a woman who once taught New Age practices and transformed her into a woman who shares the Gospel, teaches the Word of God, prays for others, and points people to Jesus Christ.
The Lord also allowed Melissa to have profound encounters that deepened her faith and understanding of His Word. As a newly saved believer who knew very little about the Bible, she began discovering that the things the Lord had shown her in heaven were already written in Scripture. This created within her an even greater hunger to know God through His Word and to help others do the same.
Today, Melissa shares her story not to glorify the darkness she came out of, but to glorify the One who rescued her from it. Her testimony is a reminder that no one is too far gone for the grace of God. Jesus still saves, delivers, restores, and makes all things new.
Her heart is now to make disciples, share the truth of the Gospel, warn others about the spiritual dangers and deception found within New Age practices, and encourage people to seek a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ.
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” — 2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)
Melissa’s life is a testimony of that truth: Jesus Christ completely changed her life—and He gets all the glory.

It All Starts With a Decision
Say Yes to Jesus
It all starts with a decision! I want to invite you to get to know my friend, Jesus Christ of Nazareth. 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.
