I am Melanie.  During my first trip to Uganda I knew this was where I was supposed to be.  At the age of 12 years old I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior. It was at that time that I seriously felt as though God was
calling me be a missionary. I anxiously watched as missionaries told
their stories of travels, trials and tribulations, and thought "what
if Jesus chose me to do that?"
 
In the late 1990’s, after going through a
heartbreaking divorce, I told my mother, "I just want to go to Africa
and rock babies!" Well, God listens and God answers prayers, in His own
time! In the Spring of 2018 I received a request to join a medical service team of men and women to go to Africa and “rock babies.”  My calling was loud and clear.  With no preconceived fears or hindrances, I prepared to leave for Uganda in just a few short weeks. I had faith - if God chose me, He would take care of me.

I came away from Uganda with a deep desire to return. My heart will always be with the beautiful children and people of Uganda. Their faith has made
me stronger. Their faith has to be “bigger” than my faith. I can turn
on a faucet and receive clean, hot water within just a few seconds.
They have to have faith that there will be water in the borehole, that
they will be able to make it to and from the borehole, that they will have
charcoal to light a fire, the water will boil and will have no amoebas in it.

I realize now that true faith is about your total trust being in one
Sovereign God. That is God our Father, Jesus our Savior and The Holy
Spirit, our Guide. Without THAT I have no faith. And so I come away
knowing that without faith I can do nothing, but with faith in Him, I
can do all things (Philippians 4:13).
 
I appreciate your prayers first and foremost, and your donations as well.
