I'm Traveling the World!

I know, I know..... I've all of a sudden been traveling a lot!  After a 3 year hiatus of no traveling this missionary blood filled girl (my parents are missionaries)  is finally back on

airplanes and doors are opening to minister in ways I have dreamed about for years. Growth and Patience have been hard to develop but now I am so excited that God is allowing me to break forth and do amazing things. Like my friend Bob Johnson says, there really is No Box when it comes to God. I've been stretched and pushed outside my box and when I have obeyed, God steps in and does amazing things.
I have an amazing husband, who sees me and my gifts and is always encouraging me to go for it even if it costs him something.

Ministering to the women of Uganda

I can close my eyes right now and as a young girl, I see my daddy preaching  and I hear him saying,  "People, Attempt Great Things for a Great God, Expect Great Things from a Great God."  Well, All my life I have quoted that to myself, it's what has reminded me that God is faithful through every one of our adoptions. On these trips it still rings true,  I attempted many things, that I have never done before, expecting God to show up and He  has still shown himself  Faithful to complete the good work. In Faith, believing MY GOD is the SAME yesterday, today and forever, I've seen people healed emotionally, I've seen them delivered from demons, I've touched blind eyes and saw them open, deaf ears , to hear and people come to know a Jesus they have never known. And I stand in awe daily that he lets me be his hands and feet.

Jesus restored this lady's eye  sight so she could see!!!!!! 

That being said, My son, Graham and I have been asked to join Bob and Kimberly Johnson with Idignify on a team to several  South African cities and Mozambique with Heidi Baker at the end of July.  We will be gone for a month.  Graham's school has graciously granted him permission to miss the first week.
I stand amazed at how God funded the other two trips through my friends. I trust Him to do the same for this one.  Each of my other trips has been incredible and life changing for me as well as the ones we went to serve.  I went to minister and in return got ministered to by others and by God himself.
If you feel led, to donate, you can donate a tax deductible gift  through Idignify to the link below towards our trip. We need to raise our plane ticket money by the 19th of June.

LAST DAY IN ASIA IS TOMORROW

Good Thursday Morning America! As I end my Thursday in Asia, you are just starting yours and let me tell you, it is going to be an awesome day! We finished our last ministry today and will head out tomorrow evening to South Korea where we will have a pretty long layover. I look forward to sharing so much more with you about my trip but that will have to wait. I have felt like I have have had a spiritual growth spurt on this trip and I will either cry on the plane home or when I get home as I process what God has done personally in my life as well as what he has done in others we met on this trip!!! Today we were in villages and it was just incredible. Just incredible. Wow! Just when I think I have a favorite day, God moves us up a level. our leadership has been incredible to thrusts us into our giftings and outside of our boxes and idea. I want to give a shout out to Leigh Michelé Brett on this trip who did an incredible job arranging everything about this trip and even denying herself ministry time so she could serve us. I have come to love this incredible woman of God and look forward to a lifelong friendship with her! I hope to blog more when I get home! We have over 6000 photos and it will take some time to sort them out! :)  There are so many stories and wonderful things to tell! 

VIDEO BLOG- VISITING A REHAB CENTER- VIETNAM

THE LEAST OF THESE- HIV HOME - VIETNAM PART 3

Our third stop for the day was at an HIV/Orphan home and the atmosphere there was the greatest. Father Joseph just glowed with Jesus' love for these kids.  He has 3 homes that are comprised of about 80 kids total. The one we went to today has about 50 small kids.  The kids are on meds for their HIV and are doing well. He said they have only lost 7 kids in 7 years.  They are in need of another nurse, if you all want to spread the word. It would mean moving to Vietnam. :) 
The kids loved the balloon animals and at first were scared of the face painting but once they figured out what it was, they wanted everything!  Father Joseph and the staff were just filled with joy to watch these kids have fun!  Mary Ellen and I were sitting on the floor doing the face painting and we had kids in our laps, behind us and hanging on us. It was very challenging to get the painting done.  Mary Ellen had this one little girl who refused to get out of her lap and we had to be diligent about keeping paint brushes out of her hands!  Mary Ellen finally gave up and by the time we were done this little girl had almost every face painting pic on her body!  Haha!! This one little boy, did not want any of the designs I had but kept motioning with his hands what he wanted. It looked like this: 

As I was laughing and we were doing this back and forth, I assumed he wanted a yellow dinosaur. My dino did not turn out as I wanted and so I wiped it off. He still made the same gesture and I sat there trying to figure out what to paint since he was so set on it, I looked at his shirt and saw power rangers. When I pointed to the yellow one, he was very happy for me to paint that! When I added blue lightening strikes, I became the hero of that little boy!  Whew! 
 We left there with those kids all happy which made my heart happy.

THE LEAST OF THESE- VIETNAM CANCER WARD - PART 2

Our next stop was at the Cancer Ward for Children at the Govt. Hospital. That was a fast and furious visit!  As I have been it international hospitals before the impact was not so much a shock for me as I believe it was for some others on our team.  As we arrived , We divided up into 6 teams and had snacks, milk, clothes and over 100 stuffed animals. We had to divide up most of the stuff outside of the bus and gathered a crowd as all these Americans were doing something!   As we hit the ward, each team taking a small room or two and the hallway where people were lined up on mats, It was like heaven came down! The person in charge of the floor was very protective of us and the kids and as word spread through out the hospital that we were handing out stuff, he screamed at them all to go away! It was just for the kids! 
As we walked into each room, giving out the things mentioned above, there really wasn't any walking room. In a room much smaller than most of our Master bedrooms were 6 beds. Kids with mats under the beds and parents that  were there with their. There were at least 24 people living in each room.  Just as fast as we got in,  It had seemed that we had brought so much but 200lbs of items seemed like nothing as we got going.  The joy and delight on the kids faces as we handed them a milk and a stuffed animal was worth every mile we traveled to get there. Unfortunately, we got ushered out as soon as we finished handing out everything, so hugging on kids was not really an option, so smiles and the love of Jesus was what we left behind. Bob's motto is just ooze Jesus and it is enough. The power of Heaven and Jesus' healing is in his hands.   But an amazing thing happened.  Bob lagged behind with Ari, his 2 year old and all of a sudden people requested that Bob and Ari bless them. They loved Ari!  She has the sweetest smile. So with her daddy, she went through the ward and they got to lay their hands on every kid and pray over them!!!!! I can't really explain publicly why this is great that Bob got to do this but it is!!!  This same little 2 year old wanted to hold an 8 year old at the medically fragile home and so her mama let her. It was a precious sight to see her sit on the mat and lovingly hold the other sick child way older than her.  This little girl already has the heart of Jesus and has just been a joy on this trip. 

It was off to lunch after that and we went to some gorgeous gardens by the River where I ate some delicious Vietnam food including a fried fish. (Served with the head) Some of my team mates had a problem with that! hehe. 

The LEAST OF THESE PART 1

Even though our day was long, it was an amazing day!!! We went to 3 places with in the city. The first was the medically fragile home run by the Catholic church. These kids all had some kind of physical and/or mental handicap and had been abandoned. They ran to greet us when we got there.  At first we just walked in and started playing with the kids and it was a little overwhelming.   I didnt know which child to sit down and play with. As I walked around stopping to pat some and talk to them, I asked God which one did I need to touch the most?  As I walked into an adjoining room, I saw him.  There he was all cuddled up in a corner.  He looked like he must have been around age 9 or 10. We will call him Saang.  He just sat there playing with a little block toy, flipping it around in his fingers. I slid to the floor to sit beside him and noticed his eyes were crossed somewhat. He didnt really notice me until I said something to him. Though he couldn't understand what I was saying, he turned his head towards me. I scooted in closer, continuing to talk to him telling him what a wonderful kid he was and that Jesus loved him. Not knowing how much he could see, I touched his face tenderly. He seemed to like it and I took his hand in mine and there we sat, very close together. Not really feeling like I needed to say much, he just held my hand and you could tell he was trying to see my face.  During this time of my holding his hand and talking quietly to him, I had another very little down's syndrome girl climb into my lap. She proceeded to lay her head on my chest and pat me! Hehe! Then evidently, she has uncontrollable urges to hit and I got side swiped  right in the front of the face before I could catch her. Man! was that painful!  Without letting go of my little friends, hand, I managed to grab hers to stop the beating and quietly spoke the word Peace, Peace.  She immediately stopped and I was so glad. She did this a few times unexpectedly,  but each time I would pray Peace, she would stop. She then decided that that it was time to get off my lap and move on and play. All this time, I had been holding on to Saang's hand.  I felt Jesus just wanted me to sit with him.  I turned my full attention back to him and everytime I had tried to pull away my hand, He just found it again to hold. I then decided to see if he would let me draw him close to hug on him. When I reached my arm around him, He immediately cuddled up to me and settled in for a long stay. Laying his head on my shoulder, he tilted his head up to hear everything I was saying and wrinkled his face as if he was trying to understand my words. As I spoke words of life over him, My heart cried out to Jesus for his salvation from his diseased body. As I sit here typing this my clothes sorta reek of his smell. Though that smell is not so lovely, I know he is lovely. He longs for love and a destiny just like the rest of us.  Fighting back tears, I smiled and loved on him as he continued to snuggle in close.  The rest of the visit was sort of a whirlwind in my mind but it was pure joy to see the children light up when I painted their faces with paint.  But Saang will forever be imprinted on my heart.

OUR TRIP TO CAMBODIA- VIDEO PART 1

I'll blog and story tell more later, because I am a little tired to write it all out but I am posting a video that I have divided up into 3 parts to make it easier to download.

A Video Blog - Headed to Canbodia

Here is a video Blog to tell you a little bit about our last couple of days right before we exited Thailand.

Church in Kohn Kaen Thailand April 7

Upon arriving in Kohn Kaen, Thailand, we headed out to church but since we hadn't eaten, Julie took us to a local Thai Food court in the neighborhood. Most of us had no idea what we were ordering. The food though was yummy and spicy.   A few played it safe and found another vendor where they could see the food.

Can you read that menu???

Elyssa played it safe and went down to the 7 Eleven

Ari and Cade played in the "Nursery" at the back of the church

Church is about to start, this place ended up being packed out as several churches  joined together

The worship in Thai was great! They even had strobe lights!

Bob had an awesome interpretor named Grace. She was so tiny compared to him but she caught his personality perfectly!

SLEEPING POSITIONS ON THE 13 HR BUS TRIP!Magan

Magan and I thought we would show you (out of pure boredom) the many positions you can accomplish while you are on a 13 hour bus ride from North Thailand to South Thailand.

BUS TRIP TO SOUTHERN THAILAND!! April 6,2013

We boarded a bus to southern Thailand with all 16 of us and 40 plus bags! The bus man was not so sure about us and our luggage. We finally did not have to pay any extra money and they got it ALL on there!  Of course, we gathered a crowd because none of the Thai's at the bus stop believed it could be done. Thankfully, this bus was fairly nice with airconditioning and we have a great team with great attitudes!!

Our 10 hour overnight trip turned into 13 hours and at one point in the middle of the night, my bathroom excursion to the back of the bus was a little adventurous as we happened to begin a curvy, bumpy portion of the trip. And I think that is all you want to know.

THAILAND,VIETNAM & CAMBODIA- HERE WE COME!

My friend Kimberly with I.Dignify on her last trip to Asia caring for orphans

I AM soooooo excited about my trip to Asia. A BIG THANK YOU to those who gave for me to be able to go! A BIG THANK YOU also to those who are going to cover me in prayer while I am gone!   Please plan to check my Melissa Carter Facebook or this blog for updates while I am there. 

We had our first planning meeting for this trip and there are 11 of us going. We will be arriving first in Thailand and staying for several days.  Then head over to two other countries in Asia for the remainder of our trip. 
Our flight leaves April 1 and we will return on April 20. 

B& K of I.D. WE are limiting identification on this trip for security reasons.)  will be leading us on this trip and they are awesome friends who are changing the world! When I think of Justice Heroes, I think of them!  They are making a huge difference in the life of so many people and girls who are caught in sex- trafficking. 
I am including a long excerpt from an I.D.'s newsletter that will tell you a little bit about what we will be doing in Asia. I ask that you partner with us in anyway you can! 

"While in Asia we will be working with, training, equipping, and ministering to women and children that have been rescued out of trafficking as well as the staffs onsite at the organizations that are pouring their lives into their restoration. We will be holding workshops for the staff, doing arts and crafts with the kids and holding worship services with over 200 rescued children.

In T. we will be bringing the gospel of Jesus to a people group who have very little exposure to His word or even who He is.  In this area of T. less than 1% of the population has heard of Jesus and so we will have opportunity to go into the tribal villages and bless them,  and love on them.  We will also be doing a drama for at risk children who work in the trash dumps.

In C. we will be visiting several orphanages and rescue homes for children. Our team will receive training from a man who has done thousands of personal rescues himself and we will also be ministering to a rescue home where the women are making purses which Macy’s is going to begin selling, allowing their home to be self sustaining. We will also be ministering to multiple highly persecuted churches.
In V. we will be visiting some more homes with medically fragile children and also a drug rehab home and cancer ward with over 200 kids in one very small ward. We will also be ministering to tribal villages where Jesus raises dead ones on a regular basis as there is no medical doctor or facility nearby!  We will be doing water sanitation and street ministry in the red light districts.  We can't discuss some of the details of our trip because of safety concerns for believers there and organizations there but please know we need your prayer coverage.

This is what the filters look like. They just hook up to a bucket with water

People in Asia getting the water filter systems for their families

 
Please consider sowing into this incredible trip, as it is through people like you that it is possible for us to go and be a blessing!  To give you an example of how simple and practical the need is, because unsafe drinking water is the second highest killer of people worldwide, we are bringing filters that cost around $50 a piece.  The filter provides clean drinking water for 50-100 people for life!  It needs no filter replacement & no maintenance!  The more we are able to bring with us, the more people will have access to clean, safe drinking water. 
Click here to join us in support
 
We are also in great need of intercessors to cover us in prayer as we venture into these places.  

If you will be partnering with us in prayer please email me back and let us know what the Lord has put on your heart to pray for us and the time commitment you are able to make, even if it is simply 15 minutes a day!  Your prayers are our covering, they go before us, behind us, and work through us!

If you would like to send supplies for us to take with us, here is a needs list.  Please send them no later than March 17^th so they will arrive to us by the 20^th and we can have time to pack them.  Please send them to Kimberly Johnson 1095 Hilltop Drive, suite 369, Redding CA 96003  OR  Melissa Carter 7783 Churn Creek Rd. Redding, CA 96002

Here is the List!

• Art supplies for the women in the rescue homes. (Paints,(finger,watercolor,acrylic) good paintbrushes, watercolor pencils, sketchpads, crayons, canvas, face paint, plaster molds, stickers and more!) 
• Kids clothing, all sizes including shoes. If it is used, please be sure it isn’t stained or torn.
• Used or new baby items
• Blankets for the children
• Jewelry supplies for them to make jewelry
• Anything specific the Holy Spirit leads you to send to either be given to the children, or even the staff. 
• Snacks to take to the children.  (Candy is okay as it opens a door to minister to them.  Ideally fruit juice sweetened snack packs, goldfish, teddy grahams etc.  Just be sure they are in individually packaged containers from the manufacturer, not zip locks.)
• Blankets for the babies (handmade or not) as none of them will have them. 
• Toys, dolls, coloring supplies. E.g. balls that can be deflated and then blown up on the other side  (Please get things that are small and light where possible as it allows us to bring more to children.)
• Small journals for rescued girls to write in.  You are welcome to decorate the covers, just use caution with using Christian terms for safety and English words, as they will not be able to read them.

The Items below are ones we will purchase before leaving and/or once we get there.

• Powdered Milk for the kids in the cancer wards
• Water filters for water sanitation - these only weigh a few oz and each one can give 100 people clean water for life! $50

If you would like to donate financially towards the trip and towards the above mentioned items please Click here to join us in support
Many of these rescue homes will give us coconut water, snacks etc. while we are there and this can cost them money so we will also be giving them offerings to at very least, offset the cost of our supplies.  

I will be posting and keeping you all updated as I prepare for this trip and as I am in Asia if there is internet

"HIDDEN" My Newest Painting

“Hidden” Watercolor/Mixed media by Melissa Carter 20x30 

“He rescues her from hidden traps, and shields her from deadly hazards. His huge outstretched wings protect her... under them she is perfectly safe.” Psalm 91: 3,4 The Message (paraphrased)

The beginnings of this painting began in my head at least a year before it ever made it to paper. As my heart began to be stirred about the issue of sex trafficking and the children and girls who were lost in a world of hopelessness, I began to pray that they would be sheltered by Him. I believe my paintings stir the heart of God to release angels and people to set the captive free. My creative gift has purpose. It gives visual to what I see is happening in the supernatural. It brings awareness to stir others into activation to make a difference.
Hidden represents Jesus sheltering a lost girl. The blanket she is wrapped in represents the ethnicities of girls who are lost inside of sex-trafficking as well as the robe that Jesus offers as a beauty covering. In her darkness, He slips in to protect her and cover her with His Might powerful Wing so that she is invisible to the enemy. I found Psalm 36:6-8 that verbally demonstrates this.

Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains,
your justice like the ocean depths.
You care for people and animals alike, O Lord.
How precious is your unfailing love, O God!
All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of your wings.
You feed them from the abundance of your own house,
letting them drink from your river of delights.”

The oranges, reds and yellows represent the life and fire that can be restored to a girl who no longer knows hope. The metallics in her hair represents the glory of God that she is crowned with. It is how God see her, a princess created in his image filled with hope, purity, and promises.

Upon finishing the painting, I knew it wasn’t quite done. There was a power element missing. As I was sitting and pondering over the painting in my studio, Kim Walker’s song came on, “I Still Believe”.
The words, “ Right now, your blood takes away the curse... Right now, your blood sets the addict free... Right now, your blood mends the broken hearted.... transforms my mind... brings the dead to life. I still believe... Your Love is sufficient.” moved on my heart and I knew I had to portray the blood of Jesus as the power source of these girls’ salvation.
With my heart pounding, knowing I could potentially ruin the painting with what I was about to do, I splattered red paint to symbolize the power of His blood that washes away the lies of the enemy. Even more crazy I stamped LOVE over all the enemy’s words because I know that LOVE never fails. That’s it. LOVE wins their hearts.

I Am Almost There!!!!

I am going to be SHAMELESS here and do some begging! --- Please forgive me ahead of time! 

I REALLY WANT to go to THAILAND, VIETNAM and CAMBODIA. I am ready to get back in the trenches again after not having traveled for almost 3 years! 
This 3 week long trip with I.Dignify is not just an ordinary missions trip for me and the 10 others going with me! I believe it is going to be LIFE ALTERING for all of us who have committed ourselves to rescuing those who have been enslaved in sex- trafficking.
This team that is going has been academically and spiritually trained to work with sex trafficked victims and this is our trip to assess the needs in these countries, Set the Captive Free, Heal the Broken Hearted and Wounded, and Give Them Wells of Water, Naturally and Spiritually!

I NEED $965. THANKS to my wonderful hubby, Duane, who has given to this trip in more ways than one and to others who have helped me to already raise the other $2235. I am so appreciative of your love and giving!

They have given us one more extention to get the money in and it is March 7th. With your help I can go.

I'm going to THAILAND, VIETNAM and CAMBODIA!!

Hi Everybody,

Hello from beautiful California! 

As most of you know, Duane and I moved here to Redding,CA to attend Bethel church. 

We have been loving it here. We are amazed everyday that we get to live here in this beautiful area and Kingdom Culture! In this last year and a half, God has grown our hearts and enlarged our territories. We are seeing the possibilities of dreams that we have had for years                                           beginning to unfold.  We are amazed and stand in awe at what God is doing in our lives. 

As we have been here, God has allowed me (Melissa) to become involved with I.Dignify, an organization started by Bob and Kimberly Johnson. ( http://idignify.com ) 

I.Dignify works to equip caregivers of children and young women who have been rescued out of sex trafficking as well as participate and support other organizations who rescue and advocate for victims of sex-trafficking.  They bring the love of God to many who are lost and hurt.  

My heart comes alive when I am working with I.Dignify. It is awesome to be able to teach others about bringing hope and healing supernaturally to these lost young ones. It is awesome to know that because of our efforts through I.Dignify many will learn what it is to become a daughter or son.  

I have been given the opportunity to go with I.Dignify on a trip from April 1-18 that will land us in Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia where we will be working in brothels and with caregivers in rescue homes. Duane, being the super great husband that he is, is taking over as Mr. Mom! 

I believe this trip is going to be very instrumental in my future work.  When I went to Thailand almost 3 years ago, it rocked my world and changed my life! I knew I would be back!   I feel the time is now with this great opportunity!  ( For those of you thinking it, No, My plans are not to bring back a little one, though you know I want to!) LOL! 

LONGING FULFILLLED

As a radical lover of God, I realize that I have the privilege of going to the ends of the earth to impart who I am and what I have received, which is the love and life of Jesus Christ. I have been given the grace to demonstrate God’s unconditional love and introduce His abundant life to every person I meet. (Ephesians 3:19, John 13:34)

I typically do not write a letter asking for support but I feel that it is important that others join with me in this effort whether it is by PRAYER or FINANCES.  As most of you know, I grew up on the mission field and have traveled to many countries adopting and doing mission work. Bringing Love to the world is important to me. I love Bethel’s  wonderful Missions Vision because it goes right along with my vision. A portion of it is below:

  “ The heart and passion of the Bethel Mission Department is to see the sons and 

daughters of God in all the nations awaken to His goodness and love. As children of Heaven, we have access to His Kingdom and demonstrate His love, glory, and power in all aspects of society. Our strategy is to raise up a generation of world changers in their own nations to begin to run with their God-given inheritance to bring heaven to earth and transform their nation.”

 The total cost of my trip is $3200 and has to be paid by February and March. If you would like to donate, financial gifts may be made online at  

https://missiontrips.ibethel.org. This gift is tax deductible and you will receive a statement at the end of the year for your tax records. If you wish your gift to be anonymous, please check the anonymous box.  This will allow you to receive an end of year statement, but will not allow me to see your name.  This is a non-refundable donation to the Bethel Church Missions Department for the benefit of the iDignify Social Justice Trip/ Melissa Carter.

Redding, CA 96002. If you would like to talk to me or make a donation by phone, you can call me at 530.215.1426-  Pacific  Time. 

I want to say a huge thank you ahead of time for those of you that are investing in me. 

I know a support system, a community of people who invest in me whether it is through prayer,finances or encouragement is very important. I want to Thank You for believing in me and what I am doing!  (Matthew 10:8)

Blessings to you, Melissa Carter
