About the Ministry:

Prayer of Cardinal Newman:

God has created me to do Him some definite service; He has committed some work to me which He has not committed to another. I have
my mission - I may never know it in this life, but I shall be told it in the next.

I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons. He has not created me for naught. I shall do good, I shall do His work. I shall
be an angel of peace, a preacher of truth in my own place while not intending it - if I do but keep His commandments.

Therefore, I will trust Him. Whatever, wherever I am, I can never be thrown away. If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve Him; if I am in
sorrow, my sorrow may serve Him. He does nothing in vain. He knows what He is about. He may take away my friends, He may throw me
among strangers. He may hide my future from me - still, He knows what He is about.

So...what now?


I sat down not long ago and thought about the testimony that I put on here to start with...every word of it was true, but little did I know it was
just the beginning of God preparing me to minister to those needing to hear His word.

I saw a quote recently in an email I received, and I cannot remember who it was attributed to, but it really made me think...

"Before you go minister, define the boundaries of your hypocrisy."

WOW! Talk about cleansing your own heart! Am I ready to tell them Jesus loves them? Do I love them, too?

I went through a cleansing process of my own. On April 23, 2006, I publicly accepted my call to this ministry - a call I had been fighting for
many years. I could sing, and could write songs, and God gave me many songs that I kept in a notebook and never sang for anyone. So, I
did the logical thing...I accepted and thought that was it. Well, God had other plans. The phone did not incessantly ring off the hook for me to
come sing...people did not seek me out...what was wrong? Didn't I give in to the call?

That was just the first step...the day I went forward, God began refining me to become a true minister. My heart was hard and angry, and
needed to change. And just like all the energy I used fighting the call to this ministry, I fought this change tooth and nail, until I hit bottom
and almost lost it all. Humility is hard pill to swallow, and I didn't like it, but through Scripture, Biblical teaching, and God knocking me down
on my face, I learned that I can't have wrong relationships with people and expect to have a right relationship with God.

There is more to this story, and I would love to come tell you about it in person....




We were blessed to have Melissa come worship with us at
Cornerstone Baptist Church.  Her original songs were not
only beautiful and well sung, but the lyrics were full of
biblical doctrine which is a rarity in today’s modern music.  
We look forward to having her back again real soon”

MELISSA MORRIS MINISTRIES
It is my mission to:

Honor Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior as an individual and as a
member of His body.

To reach out to every person of every background to show them Christ
and His love, mercy, grace and forgiveness.

To go anywhere I am called to go for His purpose and the spreading of
the Gospel.

To step aside and allow the Holy Spirit to lead, guide and direct every
aspect of my life and ministry.
