In July 2023, I took a leap of faith and moved across the country from New Jersey to Florida, starting a new chapter in my life. Now, I'm being called to take another leap - this time across the ocean to Bulawayo, Zimbabwe with Bayside Community Church in September 2025.
Why Zimbabwe?
Anyone who knows me knows my heart for children - guiding them, teaching them, and loving them has always been my passion. This mission trip will allow me to:
- Assist with feeding programs for the local community
- Engage in children's ministry and outreach
- Support local church initiatives
- Share hope and faith through evangelism
How You Can Help -
I'm raising funds to cover essential expenses including:
- Airfare + Trip Interruption Insurance
- Ground Transportation
- Food
- Accommodations
- International Emergency Medical Insurance
- Other Trp Necessities
Every Gift Makes a Difference
Whether you can contribute financially, offer prayers, or simply share words of encouragement - all support is deeply appreciated. No amount is too small, and every dollar brings me one step closer to making a difference in the lives of children and families in Zimbabwe.
This isn't just my mission trip - it's OUR mission trip! When you help send me to Zimbabwe, you're right there with me as we make a difference together. Every smile I see, every child I hug, every meal I help serve - that's all because of YOU!
Thanks for being part of my journey, friends! I promise to share tons of photos and stories when I return!
With so much love and gratitude, Melina
*Anything raised over this goal will go to support other people also going on the trip.*
