  Melissa is the Associate Editor for the Magazine. With a passion for helping people, Melissa Sundblom enjoys living a life in service to others. Spending several years as a Counselor for women and inner-city youth, only fueled her desire to help people improve their lives. She also worked with local organizations that worked with women in human trafficking and those that were wanting to leave the life of trafficking. Seeing the significant impact of including biblical teaching in her counseling pushed her to see trauma and the effects of trauma in a different light.   The impact of that work continues to guide Melissa in her current role as developing curriculum and a program designed to provide safe-haven, rehabilitation, and restoration for survivors of human trafficking. She understands the importance of being led by the Holy Spirit and her walk with the Lord touches every area in her life. Melissa understands the challenges of being a woman and a mother, having 4 children of her own who she homeschools, and having been married now for 11 years. Family is her primary focus, but she always makes time to find new ways to help those around her. She enjoys digging deep into the Bible, looking at the Hebrew, Greek and contextual meaning of scripture. Then applying it in counseling and everyday life. She desires every person to be set free, know who's they are, who they are in Christ, and walking in the destiny the Lord put in them.
