ABOUT US
DeeDee and Mel are two women who passionately pursue equipping women in their walk with Jesus, which is evident in their homes and church. They feel called to share the gospel and the burden of living a Godly life with every woman willing to walk alongside them. As an outpouring of their desire for women to become, and find joy in becoming, genuine disciples of Jesus Christ through desire, devotion, and demonstration, this blog is their answer to a generation of women who struggle to find the time and fervor to truly know Jesus and His love for them. In this day and age, it’s difficult to sort through the Truth and the world, and Fulfilling the Ministry is here to guide women to knowing Biblical Truth and understanding practical ways to live it out. While in different walks of life and with very different upbringings, Mel and DeeDee are both active members of a Southern Baptist Church, affirming the Baptist Faith and Message (located at SBC.bfm.net), as well as active in the life and leadership of Women’s Ministry and Women’s Discipleship in their church.
Meet DeeDee
Hey y’all! Let me just say: Welcome!
Just a passionate dog mom, crafter, and reader over here…
I’ve been a faithful attender of our church since I was in the womb. Having amazing Christian role models in my life, I knew at the age of 6 that I was a sinner and needed Jesus to save me. I began serving in the church when I was in middle school and pretty much never stopped. While my ministry passions have changed over the years, one thing has remained the same: my desire for others to have a personal relationship with Jesus and love Him with their hearts and minds. Currently one of my favorite scriptures is Colossians 3:17- “And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”
(Mel speaking here) Dee Dee works hard in all aspects of her life, especially the ones she is passionate about. I have never met anyone more passionate about guiding others to Christ and supporting them as they cultivate their own connection with her favorite person: Jesus. She is one of the first Christian friends I was able to make after accepting Christ and I have her to thank for a lot of my growth early on, and even now. I am so excited for you to get to know her through this adventure!
Meet Mel
Hello, friends! My name is Mel and I am so glad you stopped by today! I am a woman who loves God, adventuring with my family, and reading sappy romance novels.
I was raised in an atheist household that strongly despised all things christian, but I am so relieved that during my senior year of high school, God set me apart so that I may know Him through His son! In my church I have loved serving as a leader in our women’s ministry, women’s discipleship, and children’s ministry. After receiving a certificate in Women’s Discipleship from Church Answers University, I hope to continue growing in the knowledge of equipping women to become devoted disciples. My favorite Bible verse is the entirety of Psalm 34, but I can settle on verse 3- “Glorify the LORD with me; let us exalt His name together.”
(DeeDee speaking here) Mel is passionate about connections, compassion, and unity. She seeks to know and love those that others would deem unlikely or unlovable. She may be a pastor’s wife, but she continues to be humble and down to earth at all times. She continually inspires me to know God and His Word more. It is so much fun to do theology alongside Mel. As you’ll soon see, to know her is to love her!
