Melissa grew up in a loving family, but did not have a base foundation in Jesus Christ.  She looked for love an acceptance through sex instead of a relationship with the Lord, and found herself at the young age of 19 facing an abortion and its numbing after effects.  

Later, after an encounter with Jesus, Melissa gave her life to God and began the process of post-abortion healing with other likeminded women.  Today Melissa is walking in freedom from shame and guilt, and with the Holy Spirit is helping to lead other women to freedom and life through HRL (His Redeeming Love) Ministry.
