We are ramping up for our busiest and most impactful year yet! Last year, we booked over 100 Off-Site Events, and this year we already have 58 Events booked, and it’s only March! Volunteers are reserving Midwest Mission Experience shifts in Iowa, and we are excited to see all of the on-site volunteers in Illinois as well.
It was becoming too much for one person to do, so, in a God Moment kind of way, we hired Melissa Brookens back in December to join Pat Wright on the Reservations Team.
Melissa will help you book Off-Site Events, and will handle reservations for our Iowa location. Pat will continue to take reservations for Illinois volunteers. When Pat is out of the office, you might hear from Melissa, too! She is a great addition to the team.
Here is a little bit about Melissa:
Melissa and her husband, Tom, have two wonderful children and two ornery cats. Her daughter Catherine has recently started as a part-time missionary in Arlington, Texas at The Prayer Room and her son Drew is finishing up his term in the USMC.
Melissa graduated from Southern Illinois University-Carbondale with a degree in Forest Resource Science. In her free time, she enjoys gardening, hanging out with her extended family, and leading worship for Tent of Meeting revivals.
Melissa’s prayer for Midwest Mission: That the staff and volunteers be a conduit to help unify the believers of Jesus by demonstrating the power and glory of God’s love to everyone through practical endeavors.
"I love when God shows up! Throughout my life, I have had many highs and lows, but He has always shown His wonderful light upon the path I needed to take. We only have to take one step out in faith and God will meet us the rest of the way.”
Please join us in welcoming Melissa to the team!
