Melissa Crosses Borders.
Manage episode 341232603 series 3204300
It is not a popular choice to be part of organized religion right now, but for Melissa, it is a powerful one. Just her existence as an ordained pastor in a conservative denomination is an important part of her impact. But it barely scratches the surface or the real impact this woman has on people’s lives. Best of all she manages to shape how upper middle class white people see immigration by hosting opportunities to serve and meet immigrants. While she literally has a pulpit, she actually makes the biggest different because of who she is.
She pastors at San Diego First Church of the Nazarene
