Location Portland, Oregon, United States
Introduction To some I am affectionately known as Melodious Echo. (Yes, that’s my real name, but most just call me “Mel.”) I’m on the grand adventure called LIFE, and I’m loving every minute of it. I’m a Registered Nurse, but most of my time is spent in full time ministry which includes: Serving as Program Director for ARME Bible Camp, traveling with ARME’s united prayer ministry, speaking and sharing about prayer and the set-apart life, and working in 3rd World Countries with various youth and mission projects. I love visiting different cultures and meeting new people, and I especially enjoy writing about the insights God gives me in His Word or through the different circumstances of my life. My favorite verse: “And this is LIFE ETERNAL that they might know thee, the only true God and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.” John 17:3. I pray that my life will simply be a reflection of HIS, and that the joy you see in me will point you, first and foremost, to Him! Happy reading…
