Its Not About You

This article was such a good reminder!! I know that I definitely get the wrong idea that it is about me, when in reality, it is all about Christ.

Melanie's Memo - February 2014

One month closer to PNG!
February has brought some exciting changes:
  • I am now an official, legal, real-deal missionary with New Tribes Mission. I am so excited to be at this stage. It has taken a long time to get here! 
  • I have become a Premier Designs jewelry consultant! Starting in March, I will be scheduling jewelry parties that will provide people with some beautiful jewelry and provide me with some extra income!
  • Speaking of income, I am about 28% of my monthly goal of $3,638 (I'll let you do the math :) and have about $500 in special gifts to be used for one-time needs. I also have had about 4 new donors in the last month! Praise God! I am always so humbled by the gifts of friends and families. Thank you for being a part of my ministry through prayer and giving!!
Upcoming appointments: 
Here are my upcoming speaking opportunities:
  • February 23 - Joliet Baptist Church, Joliet, MT (I had this church scheduled for last week but had to reschedule due to some unobliging weather.)
  • March 2 - Buffalo Community Bible Church, Buffalo, MT
  • March 16 - Trinity Baptist Church, Billings, MT
I have also contacted several other churches who are willing to have me come, but a date hasn't been set. Please be praying for me and that pastors/churches I will be contacting! Also, if you would like to have me come speak at your church, youth group, Bible study, Sunday school, etc. I would love the opportunity




New prayer card I got made!

Fear Not






I just saw this on the NTM page. It is such a good reminder!! Missionaries aren't Super-Christians. We are just normal people. We have fears too! Check this article out and see if your fear is on here and then read about how God is sufficient in providing an answer to those fears!! Here's the link: http://usa.ntm.org/fear-not
