Melissa Bell

Melissa was raised in a small town in Eastern New Mexico and at a very early age, she knew she was called to the nations! Her life passions were always been worship, leadership development, and missions. In 2003, Melissa moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma to attend Oral Roberts University, became heavily involved in the worship department, and spent her summers leading worship teams doing worship evangelism in the nations. Her college years where a season of facing the war between “ministry” and intimacy with God. After graduating from Oral Roberts University (B.A. of Organizational/ Interpersonal Communication) Melissa began traveling with Burn 24-7 and was involved in launching many U.S. Burn cities as well as the first international Burns in Indonesia and Turkey. It was in the Burn that Melissa moved from the public platform to a deep love of the secret place. God began to break her down to a place of weakness, dependency, and intimacy with the Lord. In early 2008, Melissa left everything and moved to Dallas, TX. Melissa has a heart to empower the individual to dream for the impossible; to eliminate striving; to encourage young ministers to hold loosely to what is not “theirs”, less it become another “ministry” or “good idea”; and to develop world changers who will not grow weary because they are fueled by the fire of intimacy with God. Her goal in life is to enjoy every waking moment, to live in freedom, to help cultivate communities of lovesick worshipers, and to make Jesus famous in Dallas/ Ft. Worth and in every nation!
