About Me

My name is Melissa Jordan. I have been working with Adventures in Missions for the last 4 years serving internationally and domestically as a missionary. 

 

In case this is your first time hearing about Adventures here is a little background.  Adventures in Missions is an interdenominational missions organization that focuses on discipleship. Adventures in Missions is an accredited EFCA that was established in 1989. Since then, it has sent over 115,000 people into the mission field, some for as short as a week and others for as long as a year or longer. Adventures ministers year-round through long-term ministry bases and strategic ministry partnerships within countries world-wide. One of those bases is in Guatemala. 

 

Adventures Guatemala exists to empower Guatemala by coming alongside pastors and leaders through community development, discipleship, and activation of the Church to establish the Kingdom of God locally and internationally.

We serve communities through water filter distribution, community outreach, stove installation. We disciple through monthly Church Mobilization conferences, Beauty for Ashes, and team discipleship. 

We send through training and mobilization. 

My specific role in this is the discipleship. My official title is women’s ministry coordinator, which means I work specifically with the women in the villages. Beauty for Ashes is the women’s ministry of Adventures in Missions. The primary focus is to share God’s restoration, hope, and healing with women through ministry and training. What the practically look like is  leading bible studies, doing house visits, installing stoves and water filters, and leading retreats for the women. 

 

To be able to serve with Adventures, I have agreed to support raise. I have given a 3-year  open-ended commitment to serving in Guatemala and I am support raising to cover my entire cost of living for the duration of my time. To do that I am looking for people who are willing to commit to donating on a monthly basis. These donations cover everything from insurance, to rent and groceries, to airfare and visa costs, and more. It can be as little or as much as you feel lead to give. Any amount counts! If your interested in becoming a part of my support team, you can reach out to me by commenting below or by simply clicking the donate button at the top of this page and selecting a monthly reoccurring donation. 

 

Thank you for taking the time to read about what the Lord is calling me into. I am beyond excited about what the Lord is doing in Guatemala and can’t wait to get there. God bless!
