About Josh

I received Christ as my Savior at a young age and was raised in a Christian home in Pennsylvania. After graduating high school, I spent 2 years at the Word of Life Bible Institute in NY. I then served with Word of Life for 4 more years in media and marketing before Melanie and I moved to Florida and began to serve with International Ministries. We believe that God has put on our hearts a specific mission: to focus our talents and passions on equipping and serving through media in an international capacity.

About Melanie

I accepted Christ as my Savior at the age of 5 at a WOL camp with my mom. Growing up as a missionary kid, brought its blessings and challenges. From a young age I was able to help my parents in the ministry. As I grew older, I decided to serve in the media team with Rita Acevedo as my mentor. During college, I was challenged by Abner Flores to serve in a new team for International Resources for WOL. I knew that missionary kids around the world and specially in Latin America did not have resources for discipleship until they reached the age to go to a Bible Club. Knowing that it was 2017, and we still did not have Olympians in Spanish was what convinced me to start helping with the translation process! I wanted to help our missionary kids to have an excellent program in their main language! After finishing college I was already involved in the translation and re design of our resources along with Abner and his team! It has been a great opportunity for me to grow spiritually, and it has been an honor to use my gifts, talents and my career for God's glory.
