| About Melissa Melissa McSurdy grew up in Pennsylvania, but it did not take long for her to acquire a heart for Africa. God used her third grade teacher, a former missionary to Africa, to plant the seed in Melissa heart. God continued to intensify the call on Melissa life throughout high school and led her to Valley Forge Christian College where she majored in World Missions. Melissa went on her first mission trip the summer after her freshman year of college, a two week trip to Zambia, Africa. She returned to Zambia the following summer for approximately nine weeks. The summer after her junior year, Melissa did a four week internship in Rwanda. She also led a missions team to Zambia this past summer and could sense Gods hand upon her in a special way. God used each trip to mold her and prepare her for what was soon to come. He has given Melissa a love for the people of Africa and a burden to serve Him on that great continent. Melissa began to work as an Associate Pastor at Glad Tidings Assembly of God Church (Reading, PA) during her final semester of college and began full-time ministry there following her graduation from VFCC in May of 2003, working there until December of 2004. Her responsibilities at the church included evangelism and prayer ministries as well as short-term missions training. At the beginning of this year, the Lord spoke to Melissa? heart ever so strongly that now is the time its time to go! Melissa began the process of applying to be an Assemblies of God Missionary this past March. She has now received official approval to begin raising funds to be a fully appointed missionary to Namibia, Southern Africa. Melissa will be working alongside the Namibian National Church in establishing works to address needs related to Orphans, AIDS Awareness, and Community Health Evangelism. Namibia is a country of great need, says Melissa, but where there is great need, there is tremendous opportunity! |
